Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?


Advice needed.
I currently have a Nuprime CDT 8 feeding a Jay's Audio DAC. The CDT 8 oversamples the  PCM signal incoming to the DAC, and does DSD.
I have followed the discussions of the Jay's Audio CDT2- Mk2 with interest, since it looks to be a transport superior to the Nuprime. However, it does not provide PCM oversampling or DSD; and I think that the Jay's DAC cannot oversample a signal on its own. [Can any DAC?]
The question, then, is which combination is likely to be the better: 1. The Nuprime transport and the Jay's Audio DAC or 2. The Jay's Audio transport and the Jay's Audio DAC? Does the presumed superiority of the Jay's Audio transport more than compensate for the OS-ing capacity of the Nuprime DAC? 
Or perhaps any question of preferring an OS-ing to a NOS-ing transport is simply a matter of taste, and not any sort of objective criterion for making a choice like this?
Any insights will be appreciated.

"The OS-capable DACs I am acquainted with and discussing here, the Jay’s Audio DAC and the Denafrips Pontus, will not perform an OS conversion of an incoming digital signal sent from a transport unless that transport sends an OS signal. It’s that simple"

You are really don’t understand what I am trying to explain you CD transport shouldn’t be OS this is the DAC duty so if you insist to do OS you should buy for example the Jay transport and since the Jay DAC is no OS find another good DAC with OS capability.
Everybody here trying to explain you that Jay combination of transport and DAC is very good option despite it doesn’t do OS and OS capability is not necessary improving the sound (and IMO it might degrade it ! ) and that the Nuprime is not a very good transport (its OS capability doesn’t make it good gear!) but your wrong assumption that OS is a must to achieve good sound making you not listen to what people trying to explain to you here so really there is no point to continue explain to you what you should do or not do.

OS process making improvements is a myth .it don’t. Only if a professional studio taking a low resolution recording and remaster the original recording in a complicated and expensive process this can be a real improvement OS if the studio stuff do it right.
There are some transports that upsample, here is CD transport that allows you to pick which sampling frequency you want it to stream (switch on the back), I think remembering a CAL or Arcam transport only, that did that too.

Choose which output sampling rate 44.1kHz / 88.2kHz / or 96kHz you want.

3 sampling frequencies, 44.1/88.2/96kHz, can be selected to compare the sound difference

Why do you keep referring to my "wrong assumption that OS is a must to achieve good sound making"?
I assume no such thing. I simply leave it an open question.
Perhaps you should too.
Many people regard it highly. Not all of the them have any financial stake in the matter.

There is no even one single high end pure cd transport that using OS method the very few that do  are cheap entry level transports and that fact saying all.
If you insist  trying to match entry level transport as the Nuprime with high end Jay dac and hope to achieve good sound by doing that I wish you all the luck  ... well it's your money and you can spend it as you wish.
