Jay’s Audio CD Transport

I’m just curious if anyone has been able to see the black version of either the Jay’s Audio CDT2 or CDT3 in the flesh?

I haven’t been able to see either in person as of yet, but all of the photos I see are usually of the silver version. 

Im wondering what you have thought of the finish quality of the black vs the silver version. 

I ask as my other components are black and I’m just trying to decide which color to go with. 
 

Thank you and best wishes to you all,

Don

The silver one being such a beauty on my rack, I can't imagine the black one being anything less, black being your thing.

I have had the Jay's cdt2-mk3 for probably over two years. It has always worked flawlessly. For the future I also bought a backup CDM4/19 Phillips module so it will last me a lifetime. It is built like a tank and feels like one. The smoothness of the sliding top cd cover is amazing. I can only highly recommend it. I first used it with the I2s connection to my Gustard X26 PRO with excellent results but since then I switched to the AES connection once I used the I2s for my streamer. Went with the Snake River boomslang AES cable and the sound has a little more weight (slam) than the I2s with nearly equal clarity. I imagine a high quality coax would do as well. The display is no issue since you can opt to turn it off with the remote. In the end, I2s would be best with a darker sounding system and coax/AES with a brighter one. Of course it all has to do with the room acoustics too. Buy it and try different connections, they will all be satisfying.
