I own both a Marantz hdcd1 used as transport, as well as the Cyrus cdt. They both sound great, so it's a toss up between the two. I bought them for their relatively small foot print. I got rid of the audiolab...it just did not do it for me.
CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE
I CURRENTLY USE A CAMBRIDGE TRANSPORT WITH MY BERKELEY DAC 2 AND TOGETHER IT SOUNDS VERY, VERY GOOD - ALMOST GREAT : )
AMP, SPEAKERS AND CABLES ARE ALL EXCELLENT TOO.
WHAT CD TRANSPORT WILL MAKE A SIGNIFICANT, AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE?
