Wow! Great information, Abe. Thanks.

"Audiophile cred" means little to me, although I do have biases. I pride myself in finding low-cost gems that contribute to great sound. As long as the Bluetooth can be disconnected, it looks as if the Tascam could be a low-cost gem.

But am I being an audiopile snob regarding the power cord? The CD-200BT doesn't use an IEC cable. How much does limit the sound? Swapping IEC cables has made a difference with the CD11, albeit not a dramatic one.

My CD11 came from Crutchfield, which means the Tascam could be returned if it offers less than stellar performance. Some serious thought will be given to your suggestion. The Tascam may have jumped to the top of the transport list.
