Cd transport

+1 for the Audiolab 6000 CDT . It’s been rock solid for me.

It's the conversion from digital to analog where the magic makes the biggest difference. 

I am returning the Audiolab 6000 CDT and Audioquest Cinnamon digital cable. This combination lacked air and was flat when compared to streaming Qobuz.  This includes most CD quality streaming.  This doesn't mean that this transport is bad, but it wasn't good in my setup.  My streaming is via USB into a McIntosh MA12000.  I've decided to give up on CD transport in that the McIntosh transport with proprietary cable is way too much when I already have a good turntable. 

I had a P5. My recommendation, which I own, is a Audiolab CDT6000. There was one FS for ~$400 just the other day. Connect it with a high quality power cord and coax cable and you will be surprised

About 6 months ago, I bought a Audiolab 6000cdt and was pleasantly surprised at how good it sounds.  Even the remote is pretty good.

All the best.
