I doubt you will get many responses about CEC transports. They don't seem to be real popular here in the States. They are excellent transports however. I used to own an Ayre CD5 XE mp which is an awesome player. I wanted to go to a dedicated transport and did lots of research. I tried a few different models but finally settled on the CEC TL1X. It was the only transport that I felt offered the same performance as the Ayre. I have no knowledge of your current transport but I can vouch for CEC. They make a great product. I pair mine with a R2R ladder DAC and couldn't be happier. YMMV
Thoughts On Used CEC TL 2 X
Hi
I am presently using a Micromega Solo H as a CD transport to a PS Audio Direct Stream DAC.
There is a deal available on a used CEC TL 2 X. It seems to be in OK condition but is I guess long in the tooth being from the mid to late 90’s - so easily about 20 years old.
The Micromega is a musical transport but I would like a fuller and warmer sound which I surmise the CEC gives, at the expense of more woolly bass.
Would this be considered and upgrade or simply a lateral move?
Thanks
