JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player


Looking for a CD transport. I will be playing redbook CDs only and would be using the SPDIF output to my DAC. 
I was thinking to get the JAY'S Audio transport, but now that PS Audio discounted their DirectStream Memory Player, I can't decide between the two. Has anyone compared those two?

I saw a bunch of pictures of (6moons review?) Jays factory looks very impressive. The PS has the digital screen, which MIGHT eliminate the need for a laptop, and, of course free software upgrades. As I recall, Jays lacks the output options like toslink or coax

I would love to evaluate both, but that's not likely anytime soon. In the meantime, I am very happy with the Marantz HD CD 1 as a transport: MSRP $600. It's so inexpensive, it's easy to overlook, but a real solid performer
I think  it was in the 6moons review that the reviewer said the Jays was better than the CEC
following up on garrards' 11-18 post, PS Audio is going direct. My guess is they are forced to discount by the amount that dealers were getting.

I imagine plenty of recent buyers through dealers will be pissed
