If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
I’ve created a new thread for the Jay’s Audio DAC as it’s unrelated to teajay’s original thread.  
JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player
I’ve onky had in-house the Jay’s Audio CDT2 MK2 and the NuPrime CDT-8 Pro transport as possible replacements for my CAL Delta transport. In terms of ranking SQ: CDT2 MK2 is far better than both CDT-8 Pro and the Delta transport, and the CDT8-Pro w... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
@madivid0, does that unit even have an internal fuse?  Lol

@nonoiseI watch that OCD YouTube video (aka Mike Powell) the other day. I thought when he finished initially (and I clicked off the channel), I concluded he didn’t review the Black Cat digital cable. Returned to it again and found that I had prema... 
Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?
Yep. LP playback was also declared dead circa 1982, the dawn of “perfect sound forever.” 
Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?
Not sure why someone would even buy a Redbook CD player—let alone a Redbook CD transport and Redbook DAC—if they believe Redbook CD playback is a dying and soon to be dead medium. Why bother wasting the money? Just buy a streaming device and be do... 
Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?
Jay’s Audio CDT3 uses a different Philips laser transport mechanism from the CDT2.  
Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?
Got a message from Jay’s Audio US Rep. wrong currency price quote. Philips CDM-4 laser price is $100 + $50 S/H from China. 
Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?
The Jay’s Audio folks want $200 (S/H included) for the laser. Sounds like a rip-off to me. I’ve seen eBay listings for a generic Philips CDM-4 laser from $50 to $100.

My initial impressions of the CDT2 MK2 are presented below. System: CDT2 MK2 transport, Theta Digital DS ProBasic IIIa DAC, Teo Audio Liquid Pre passive preamp, ATC SCM20-2A active monitors, 1.3M Oyaide DB-510 digital IC (Canare BNC-RCA adaptors o... 
Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?
Anyone can pop the hood of their CDT-8 Pro and discover the brand/model of the laser transport mechanism. It isn’t like NuPrime can encapsulate it in a wax block like M&K did with their electronics back in the 1970’s.  
Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?
Word from my Jay’s Audio contacts is that the Philips CDM-4 transport/laser assembly mechanism for the CDT2, MK2 can be obtained for $350, including shipping. No word from Jason of NuPrime Audio about what Brand/Model transport/laser assembly mech... 
Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?
The Philips laser servo controller chip is likely compatible with a lot of laser mechanisms. No proof that the Sanyo mechanism is in the CDT-8 Pro.

We don’t speak his name here. No Name has not posted here since Labor Day.

My error on the transport channel reversal. I now recall having done a channel reversal test on my Teo Audio Liquid Pre outs and the L/R channels my ATC active monitors to isolate some weird noise on one channel. @teajayI am testing a Oyaide digit...
