This transport sounds very interesting being that I’m using a PS Audio Transport! Is silver the only finish available?
I also do not care for Any Upsampling/Resampling...
Thanks,

If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
I just got in-house the Jay's Audio CDT-2 MK3 transport to review for hometheaterreview.com. The build quality and physical appearance make it hard to believe that it retails for around $2,400. Right out of the crate not even broken in yet, it's out performing my CEC double belt transport in the reference system. It retains all the liquidity and analog smoothness of the belt driven transport but offers more details, tighter bass frequencies, and a larger layered soundstage with more air between the players.
Alvin, of Vinshine Audio set this review up with me, so if you go to his website you can get a lot more details/pictures on this transport. The reason I was motivated to review a CD transport was I received scores of requests from my readers asking what is a great sounding transport, for a reasonable amount of money. So far, in spades the Jay's Audio CDT-2 MK3 fits the bill easily.

It was a nice introduction from a technical viewpoint but Terry did more of a review on the sound quality of the Jay’s Transport compared to other models he owned/reviewed in his system but a very good transport, indeed. Just so everyone knows, the internal images listed on 6 Moons are not the CD2 MK II, which does not have the rubidium clock. Hoping to see more press and user reviews. Thanks, Wig |
@ in_shore Will do and it’s going to be a treat since I have upgraded an already spectacular SW1X DAC II reviewed a few months ago to an SW1X DAC III now, which I will have in 8 days or so that will compliment my Jay's CDT2 MK II Transport: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/sw1x-audio-design-dac-ii-absolute-top-tier-ref-nos-dac SW1X DAC III http://sw1xad.co.uk/product/sw1x-dac-iii/ Wig |
jriggy, Hopefully others who are still spinning CDs will chime in after purchasing this CD Transport which I find the build quality, fit and finish to be Outstanding! Burning in on my sound-bar until my DAC arrives by the end of next week and it reads discs within 3 seconds which is quite impressive... Wig |
@ teajay Just waiting on my DAC to arrive on Wednesday/Thursday. See pictures from link below: https://www.facebook.com/sw1xaudio/ Previous SW1X DAC II review: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/sw1x-audio-design-dac-ii-absolute-top-tier-ref-nos-dac Wig |
Chris's Black Cat Silver Star MK II are the best SPDIF I have ever heard regardless of its $325 price tag. I'm just waiting on the Cable Company to restock their lending library with the digit 75 which is their most popular and mid way in their line-up. It's an addictive sound and musical instruments are life-like, full bodied but will compare it to my Snake River Boomslang which is very good as well but the Silver Star MK II has me mesmerized...
