There is an in-depth discussion of the development of Urd here (I hope I am not shattering an AA rules linking to another forum):

PS- Ordered one in black, I'm thinking a dedicated transport will outshine an old Oppo "plays-ever-silver-disc-known" in my system.

I've had my URD since they first became available, connected via USB to YGGY 2 (special USB connection), and the combo is wonderful! I have an alll new CD collection.

I too have an all new cd collection. I'm running mine AES into my old school Cal Audio Labs Alpha DAC (OG) and it is simply sublime.
First thing I noticed was the bass. Full, tight and deep. That's the result of being a life-long bassist I guess.

I bought an Audiolab 6000CDT a few years ago, so I could listen to CD's once in awhile, it was a nice improvement over my previous cd player, I still do not find I use it all that often though. Seems like vinyl or digital hard drive/streaming takes up most of my listening time.
Too many options I guess.
