@charles1dad Thanks for the advice! I have long had my eye on the Jay’s Audio transport first the CDT Mk II and now the Mk 3 as my next upgrade. I had read that it pairs nicely with the Pontus and I would be able to use the I2S inputs for increased SQ. Now if I could only overcome the funding issues. 😀 |
I have both an Audiolab 6000CDT and a Bluesound Node 2i. Both were about $500 retail and both are paired with my Denafrips Pontus R2R ladder DAC. The CDs best streaming SQ by a wide margin to my ears. CDs are my primary medium for critical listening but I enjoy streaming for exploring new music and listening outdoors on my deck. I own over 2.5k CDs and SACDs and a good amount of the titles are currently not available for streaming. |
