Cd transport

The CXC will break down

Bits are bits! That is why we have the Redbook standard for CD data/playback. All devices that can output the data from a CD must conform to this standard. That is why I use a Sony universal player. Sounds perfectly fine to my golden ears! IMO spending big bucks on a transport is just burning money!

@jasonbourne52 I agree to a point, however....the same grade fuel from the same pump, although making any engine run yields different performance.

I think between different players the internal components although spitting out the same bits to a DAC or especially when converting to analog internally can yield different results.

PS Audio has a fine offering. 

So cable upgrades are fruitless and now CD transports are too according to negative Nancy. My Jay's cdt2 mk3 is a monumental rebuttal to those claims. I owned a ps audio pwt cd transport and a Cambridge CXC and the Jay's has simply put them to shame. End of that story.
