CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE

@cymivka

Good to see you were able to solve your problem. I agree that the RS2T is small and compact. I don’t agree that it is “dinky”. The chassis is solid aluminum. The actual CD drive unit and suspension housing is comprised of aluminum and carbon fiber. A small footprint package, lighter weight but nice rigid component.

I have mine on Star Sound brass audio points with their larger size reversible discs.No vibrational issues at all. My excellent P.S. Audio Memory transport is probably 4x the weight with a bigger footprint. The RS2T is better sounding in every way. So, I believe marvelous engineering in a diminutive unit.

PS Audio makes a great SACD/CD Transport.  Their Perfect Wave SACD Transport is excellent.  

asctim,

You sound much more knowledgeable about such things than I am. I'm an engineer, but the mechanical kind. I'm assuming you could do what you're looking at, but as an audiophile my job is to find the companies that do what I cannot....at a cost I can afford.

Having owned several CD players, and since transports; the Audiolab is the best I have owned, and the Jay's is the best I have personally had in my system on loan.

As with most things in this hobby, I have found that bits is not bits.....and higher quality components usually provide better sound

Glad you were able to resolve without sending it out

Enjoy
