I had the Luxman CD-06 : the driver was very good ,but the Dac within was à nightmare. : sound was flat, no dynamic … now I bought the Audio Note CDT two/2 with the Metronome Technologie C6: : the sound is great ! Very 3D , open , detailfull : I love it now. The Moon Mind 2 streamer is also connected on de Metronome : great !!
CD transports; do they really matter
In my pursuit of total sonic harmony, I have been investigating whether a CD transport ( to replace my bulky and aged Luxman CD player ) would be a good option. I had an interesting conversation with the manufacturers rep of a respected brand regarding his companies CD transport. He basically said its all in the DAC, the transport, as long as its not a cheap component, does not make much or any difference. So, I ask does it really matter?
