Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2


I just received my Jay's Audio transport, about which much has been written in this forum.  I hadn't considered upgrading my Wadia 8 Transport, even after reading @teajay's review of the Jay's transport, but I suddenly started having some issues with the Wadia and figured it might be time to look at something else.  
I have heard the Marantz SA-10 is a great CD player, but I don't need a DAC and I only play Redbook discs, so that player seemed overkill and overly expensive for my needs.  I have also dreamed of owning a Esoteric CD player for many years, but they also cost more than I have wanted to spend on a CD player.  When I read the review(s) on the CDT2-MK2 I became very intrigued, and recently decided to buy one.  
BTW, I noticed on their website they only show silver as a color option, so I decided to send them a message to see if I could get it in black.  To my delight he said yes, so let it be known that it is available in black and that mine is indeed, black.  If you were to ask be how much blacker it could possibly be, I'd simply answer, "none."  None more black.
Anyway, I can tell you one thing that I've learned so far, the color of the unit has nothing to do with its sound quality.  
The sound quality is quite simply the best I have ever heard in my system.  I realize that I'm writing this after a mere three hours of listening, but sometimes components have that kind of impact.  This transport is really amazing. 
I wanted to share my initial impressions right away.  I hope to have something more to say after the unit is properly broken in.  For now all I can say is it was worth every penny spent.

@ snackeyp, thanks for sharing your experience with the CDT2-MK2 .. been curious about this transport. I hope I'm adding to this thread but I'm wondering will a CD player such as the Jay's audio CDP-2 ($1k more) always be better than a transport connected to an external DAC? At least from this brand?
@alvin1118, as an example, would a Ddenefrips DAC connected to a CDT2-MK2 sound better than Jay's CDP-2?  or @ snackeyp would the CDP-2 sound better into your analog inputs of your Lyngdorf instead of the CDT2-MK2 to your AES/EBU?  I may be asking for an answer that may only be obtained through trial and error.
I hope I don’t sound too ignorant about high end components, but I’m confused about the cdt2-mk2. I’m confused as to whether it’s just a transport or is it a stand a lone CD player. If it’s a transport only what quality dac are people using to get the sound their getting?
@sidog 1460
CD-transport only.
I use an iFi ProDac on valve output stage with a Black Cat Silverstar Mk.2 BNC-to-BNC digital connection.
Very, very musical combo.
Happy for you!

Looking forward to your 100 hour+ impressions

Do you have burn in discs?
