My first thought would be to order the 9000CDT from someplace like Crutchfield. If you don’t like it, send it back. Jay’s is good stuff, but you can’t send it back if you don’t like it, just like Denifrips.
Aurender Music Server and CD Transport comparison
I am in the market for a CD transport and I want it to sound as good as my Aurender N100C. How far up the chain do I have to go to get sound that is equal or better than my Aurender? My choice so far is a Jay's Audio CDT2 Mk3 but could I go to an Audiolab transport like the 9000CDT? Should I go as high as the Jay's Audio CDT3-Mk3 I don't want to spend anymore money than I have to since the more I spend the more I get diminishing returns.
The system is Aurender, NAD M2 Digital amp, B & W 805 D4 standmounts.
