Yeah us Aussie's have a sixth sense to sniff out fraudsters, charlatans and snake oilers.
Differences between cd transports?
Howdy,I borrowed a dedicated CD transport (Musical Fidelity) from a friend. I have found that music sounds much better with his transport than with the CD player I’ve been using to spin CDs. In both cases, I am using exactly the same DAC via the optical out connection from the transport and the CD player. So: is there any rational reason that, using the same digital to analog converter, one CD spinner should sound much better than another?Thanks!

You have to know how to ask the right question. Follow? Besides this has been covered ad nauseam on many many threads.

The drive circuit board may be proprietary as is the Cambridge CXC drive circuit board, but it sure looks like it has the Sanyo SF65 laser and mech in it.

a substantial step up then my perviously CD transport Cambridge Audio CXC Hi itzahk, What was the difference in sound quality between these two, or was it build quality you were referring to? As even the Sim uses a very cheap Sanyo dvd SF-HD65 laser/transport https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=%09+Sanyo+SF-HD65&_sac... The CXC uses at least uses a little better Sony KSS-213C KSM213CCM. Cheers George |
