@audioguy85 I have both the Cyrus CDi (which is the same as the CDt but with an internal DAC) and bought a Jay's Audio CDT2 Mk3 recently. Hooked up to my Holo May KTE DAC, it's not even remotely the same league...
The Cyrus sound is fun and all I'm the first to appreciate that, I have the Cyrus Phono Signature with the PSX-R2, used to have a DAC XP Signature. But their CD Transports are meh to be honest. Even the CD Xt signature which I auditioned in comparison with the CDi and which is closer in price to the Jay's Audio is barely better than the CDi/CDt. Haven't heard their latest CDt-XR, but unless they have seriously upped their game, I don't know they could ever even have a chance against the Jay's Audio...
