BEST CD TRANSPORT

Pro-Ject RS2 CD Transport

As a mainly vinyl LP guy, I bought the entry level C.E.C. transport that I've used with a couple different DACs. It delivers what's on the disc without any artifacts and doesn't have the sound I used to associate with "bad CD." Some Redbook sounds fabulous. 

The best CD transport on the market is Esoteric, It's very expensive but it has the best CD mechanism out there, the VRDS clamping transport, there's not a better transport made anywhere.

I'm a very long-term vinyl user, who is now having experiences with Digital as a source in my audio system.

For many years, I could not get along with the impact of the sonic being created from using CD as a Source. This is an evaluation resulting from my attending a limited amount of demo's of a CD Source used in unfamiliar systems, and a recollection of the outcome from the demo' had on myself. 

Today that has changed, I use a Bespoke produced DAC fed by a Perfect Wave Audio CDT.

This combination, introduced as a second Source within my audio system, which has found itself at a place of Parity in relationship to how much it is enjoyed, when it is in use alongside the Vinyl Source.

There has been plenty of same Album A/B comparison to confirm that both Sources are equally enjoyed for the presentation of the produced sound.

I have wondered in the past if there is more to be offered, if a exchange CDT is used.
