Jay’s Audio CD2-Mk3 or PS Audio PST?
Will the price difference get me a better sound with the PST?. Will be using a Bricasti M1 DAC. Thanks.
@fuzztone is correct. The Jay's Audio CDT2 MK III uses the discontinued Phillips Pro-2 CD drive mechanism (And to their credit they have stocked up on replacement units). The Pro-Ject CD BOX RS2 uses the latest Stream Unlimited CD Pro-8 drive unit (And includes the Blue Tiger servo control card). I can tell you that the Pro-Ject sounds fantastic! Charles |
I used an early generation P.S.Audio PWT for 10 years and was unfailingly happy with it. It is reliable and provided "very good" sound quality. Some listeners who've heard both the PWT and Jay's Audio CD2 MK II/III say the latter is better. I'm unaware as to what degree the latest P.S. Audio transport has improved compared to the previous generation PWT. You should give consideration to the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2T. On this forum some have compared it to the Jay's Audio CDT2 MK III and report the Pro-Ject is better sounding. In my opinion any of the three given their high level of performance would pair well with your Bricasti M1 DAC which I'm quite familiar with. My recommendation is the Pro-ject. Best of luck.
