disagree with above post. I owned the AN CDT2, and found it to be quite underwhelming in my system- the Spectral SDR 3000SL I replaced it with ate the CDT2 for lunch. I use an Audio Note Dac (newer 3.1 Balanced model), and it is fantastic, but the transports are over-rated IMO. I was taken to task on this opinion in a previous thread sometime ago, but I don't care, I just know what I (don't) hear.
Anyways, a local dealer has the Vecteur L-4, and I found it to be VERY good, especially for the price, preferable to the CDT2. and yes, you are correct- the Vecteur L-4 IS superior to their D-2. In fact, if you order now, their is a new version of the L-4 out- L-4.2?? anyways, this same dealer has it and has been burning it in for a few months now- even better than the MK I model. Lastly, the Vecteur sounded extremely good with the Audiomat Tempo?? dac- good synergy, although I suspect the Vecteur will perform equally well with the Kora...
