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?

I had a Cambridge and used it with both  Mojo Audio EVO and Modwright Elysee DACs . I replaced it with SimAudio 260DT, large improvement in SQ especially using the AES/EBU connection. It is presently in my 2nd system with the Modwright. There are other threads with folks also having very favorable SQ improvements using Jays Audio and Project transports , you might also check out  CEC transports. Net net though, don't under estimate the benefit of a higher quality transport.

Funny, when I purchased a Mojo Audio EVO DAC Ben the man behind Mojo Audio asked me what transport I would be using with it,. I told him a Cambridge CXC. He responded, if you really want to hear the performance of the EVO consider upgrading the transport. He doesn’t sell CD transports so his comment wasn’t a sales pitch , rather it was advice from someone who has intimate knowledge of digital. He was spot on.
