Anyone upgrade from Jays CDT2MK3 to CDT3MK3?

@mksun  I haven’t really had a chance to listen to it enough to tell. There is definitely more bass response. The new CDs I’ve listened to sounded very good, but I’m not ready to say it’s better.

@baclagg Thats disappointing considering it’s double the price. I may be better served by upgrading my Denafrips Pontus II DAC to the Venus instead.

@mksun  I’m not saying it isn’t better yet. I only have a few hours listening and when I have listened, I’m not in the right mind because I’m anticipating a skip. I haven’t had a chance to relax and listen. I do believe there is more bass present and I’ve noticed a wider soundstage. 

"Out of curiosity, did you notice a significant sonic improvement of the CDT3 over the CDT2?"

I would not say "significant," but it is smoother. The jitter levels are enough lower than the CDT2 that it is audible; and the innards look beefier.

You might reach out to Todd at TEK audio -- they are the US repair facility for Jay’s and he’s a good guy. He might have a suggestion or two.

I have the CDT2MKIII and have never had issues.
