CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports


Hello,

I currently have a new LTA Aero Dac on order.  I have a feeling that I will be soon be ordering a new CD Transport to go with the new Dac and am trying to narrow down the options.

I am strongly considering either the Jay's CDT2MK3/CDT3MK3; but would also like to hear more about the CEC TL5 and the CEC TL-2N belt drive transports.

I'm curious if anyone has had the opportunity to compare CEC with the Jay's?

I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences - whether they be good or bad before I decide to pull the trigger.

Thank you and best wishes to you all!

I was debating between Jays and the Project CD Box RS2 T, and decided on the RS2….for now.

@kennyc Not sure if you’ve seen but the RS2 has had more than its share of reliability issues.  Might wanna add this Shanling ET3 to your list as it’s getting some good buzz and like the Jays even offers an i2S output, which is pretty nice for this price.  Someone on this Shenzen site found it to be very close in performance to the Jays CD3, which says a lot but no clue on its reliability.  FWIW.
