@erictal4075 I recently contacted the good folks at Jay's to tell them I would buy their transport in a heartbeat if they would convert over to the Stream Unlimited CD Pro 8. They responded that no such plans were in the making. Too bad😟

I have been following a lot of posts here , but I have not read of any comparisons as of the 2 transports . I am on the fence about the 2 transports as it does not seem that there is to many choices in that price range. I can purchase both transports for about the same price . any body compare them yet or have any other thoughts . thanks

@charles1dad Thought you might find it interesting that Total DAC is coming out with a new (first for them?) transport fitted with the SU CD Pro 8 mechanism. I have not seen a price so far. |
As a follow up to my earlier post, I have been in contact with Vincent Brient at Total Dac concerning the new transport (the d1 cd, I believe it is called) and he quoted me a price shipped (free) of 7150 USD. This comes in under the Aqua unit and about 1/3 the price of the Accustic Arts new reference transport that I very much fancy but cannot justify financially. It comes with a 20 day free trial period, BTW. I am currently cogitating as to whether to pull the trigger (or not). And while I'm at it, I have a question for those in the digital know. Does the laser assembly in a transport gradually taper off in performance as it ages, thusly causing the quality of music reproduction to decline along the way in step with the laser's decline or is it a brickwall kind of thing where nothing changes sonically until the day the laser dies? |
