Jay’s Audio CD Transport

It looks like they share the same OCXO as in the OCK2 clock by LHY a subsidiary of Jay's.   

A top loading CD transport with the controls on the front is blasphemy.

@no_regrets the CDT2 has a nice CLK, but the whole top R 3rd of the CDT3 is CLK and its PSU. It’s very a serious audio effort to make the best CLK they can for it. And I think that is a large part of the improvement, but not all.

Additionally, the boards and build quality is exemplary. I’m actually a senior EE by career, having spent over 25 years in PC and notebook development industry. One of my main functions was reviewing schematic and layout design for some of the world’s major computer OEMs. If you’re concerned this might be poor quality stuff, ease your mind and don’t be; it’s not.

I too have the CDT-2 Mk III in black and it's aesthetically very nice, robust and sounds great.   I like that I can use the I2S output which in my opinion sounds the best.

I don't know if this matters to you but I find the writing difficult to read on the black face. Not really an issue if you use the remote but a difference from the silver face, all the same.
