Jays Audio cdt2 mk3 burn in and user experiences

I got one to replace my Audiolab 6000cdt that was scratching discs. The Jays was disappointing sounding out of the box, wondering if I had made a good choice, the Audiolab sounded better at that point but after 24 hours the Jays is sounding much better. Jays Audio recommends burning it in for 400 hours, what is your experience with burn in? Just using the rca dig out right now. Wondering about the upgraded cd clamp. Anything else to know?

This unit takes a long time to burn in, after 30 days and 500+ hours it is sounding great.

Happy to hear you are enjoying your Jay's. Yes, it does take time to burn-in . I am still extremely excited about mine. It's my endgame transport for sure. I wish you many hours of enjoyment

Sorry for the late response . I am using Wireworld Starlight 7 aes/ebu . I purchased it  to test the performance between aes/ebu and Pangea I2s/hdmi cables I had laying around the house. The Wireworld Starlight 7 on aes/ebu sounded better to my ears. I not sure how the Wireworld Starlight 7 compares to other aes/ebu but for a reasonable price it's working fine for me and is musically satisfying. Hope this helps......

I want to buy a Jay's CD transport but have been leery of importing one as I can't figure out how much the duty/tariff is. But, I just learned they have a US connection, TEK Specialists in Buda, TX. 

Does anyone know how to contact them?
