PS Audio CD Memory Transport?? Yes Or NO


I have thousands of cds and I have 4 or 5 cd players. To me they all sound pretty similar. I want to buy one that would be a step up. I have Marantz 6005, Pioneer cd recorder, California Audio Labs Mark 2 and an old Oppo dvd player. I have a Wyred 4 Sound Dac 2. LIke I said I cannot tell if any of them sound any better than the others. I think the California Audio actually sounds best to me. I have Prima Luna separates and a Luxman 505U integrated amp. The questions is, will I hear any improvement going to a transport with the hard drive to reduce jitter etc. or will it be a waste of money? Any advice or other suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks,

stevecham mine is the basic dac2. Do you have the transport or the transport memory? Wonder if the memory transport would take the place of using the femto clock upgrade.since it puts the music on the hard drive first before playing.
Out of all my CD players my favorite right now is the California Audio Lab Mark II. It is an old CD player. I have thousands of CDs and figure this will be the ladt CD player I will buy. Not a fan of the Marantz 6005. I am hoping this PS Audio transport with my Wyred 4 sound Dac will be my final source purchase. I feel like my source component is the weak link in my system. This should take care of that. Thanks for all the help.
I will be home this Thursday and over the Labor Day weekend and will have it up and running then. I will make comments then. Right now I am working in Oklahoma. I am definitely excited hooking it up.
charles1dad. Thanks for the comment. What DAC are you using with yours. I have the basic Wyred 4 Sound I will be using. This quality piece will probably warrant an upgrade on my DAC next. We will see. I will keep you posted.

I got my ps audio memory transport hooked up last night from the HDMI cable to my Wyred 4 sound HDMI input. Man it sounds great. Older CDs sounds a lot better. Nothing was unlistenable like my other CDs players playing older CDs. Well mastered CDs sound amazing. I am really pleased with this. Now wondering what difference at PS audio Dac would make.
