Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3

I went from a Marantz 2K = sacd player to the CEC TL5 Belt drive cd transport an the clarity and soundstage improved dramatically ...almost like I upgraded every component in my system.. Belles...Tekton Pendragon (7 speaker tweeter aray)..Schiit....U- turn audio...Lounge Phono ....just avoid Tokyo _ Center for your purchase....I'm using it with the Denafrips Ares2 which I also highly recommend. Was going to get some CW4's but that's on hold...My system sounds fantastic. I spent alot more time now going thru cd's and albums that I have played in years...I love rediscovering "new" music and extracting info I never knew existed. I make lousy recordings Enjoyable !

A CD transport and good DAC can change the sound of your system like changing your speakers. The sound difference is dramatic between the different DACs and Transports. The Project it seems has quality issues . It's all over the forums. Sounds great when it's working correctly. The people knocking the CEC TL5 haven't ever heard one. They're made in Japan...High quality...built like a tank ..and their "belt drive" system cuts vibration and is the most Holographic and musical presentation you can get under $3,000.

The Denafrips AVATAR is no longer available according to Alvin .
