| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing @yyzsantabarbara - I’m retired. I would strongly suggest not touching a 401K for the purchase of any goods or services. Especially, audio gear that changes and improves all the time. Sure you read about this cool new thing or that other thing, bu... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing otherwise, you can write more about your system, what sonic presentation and features you prefer and i can share additional thoughts My digital system is a Jay's Audio CDT2 MK3 Transport, a SoTM SMS200 Ultra network streamer with SMP500 power s... | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT Wish I'd known this before ordering my Jay's! Not one review I read mentioned the forward aspect. In my system, I found it quite fatiguing Humm, I don't find the Jays CDT2 MK3 bright or forward. Not at all. I don't use silver interconnects and ... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing Your thread is so valuable to us with limited experience of the various DACs on the market. And you have that experience! I guess since I'm in the market to replace my Chord Qutest after 5-happy years of ownership I'd be curious what are your fav... | |
| Schiit URD CD Transport SOON? which does sound better but not superior Humm, isn't something that is better by definition superior to the other thing? Seems like it to me. | |
| Jay's Audio CD Transport Repair The Jay’s CDT2-MK3 uses the Phillips CDM4/19 disc drive. I’ve "heard" that you can easily DIY repair this. There are some available online. I found this one on AliExpress. I’ve had pretty good luck ordering stuff like this from China on AliExpress... | |
| Schiit URD CD Transport SOON? Schiit used to offer a product called Etr... get it, Schiit Etr? So childish, but OK. I have one and it served one purpose... a DDC. So, you input USB and get S/PDIF and maybe an AES-EBU connection output. The Etr had Coax and Toslink outputs. If... | |
| Innuos PULSE Mini? dcpillai Have heard good things about the Pro-Jest RS2T CDT with its next-gen CD system. Do share your findings if you are able! I too am a lucky CD Transport owner - I’ve got the Jay’s Audio CDT2-MK3 - and I’d assume the Pro-Ject is del... | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT Good: I've had the Cambridge Audio CXC... it was good. Better: I got the Audiolab CDT6000... it was better Best: I now have the Jay's Audio CDT2-MK3... it's fantastic! All three using the same DAC and cables. The new Schiit URD transport is no... | |
| DAC Under $3000 Top choices besides the Schiit Yiggy would include: Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE $3,000 Denefrips Venius II 12th $3,100 MUSICIAN Pegasus $3,200 Chord Qutest - it’s been on the market for the longest and has increased in price to over $2K but is ava... | |
| Schiit URD CD Transport SOON? audphile1 There’s no planned release date. It was on display just for Schiits and giggles. Any yet, now, it's available for purchase a mere 18-days after your insightful comment. | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport I was interested in this but bought the Jay’s Audio CDT2-MK3. I’m not interested in anything else now. The Jay’s is fantastic. | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? Objectivists always see the world in black and white terms. There are no grays, no preferences and no hierarchy of qualities. It tests good - on the tests we apply to the item - so it must be good. If this thinking was verifiably true everything ... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? Better DAC topology, better power supplies, better clocks, better components, better pre and post analog stages and better input types all have a huge impact on what we universally call a DAC. It could be true that all digital to analog converters... | |
| New Jays Audio flagship cd transport Upsampling on a CDT2? I did not know that was available. Not sure if I would use it, but it seems to be worth a try. I have the CDT2-MK3. I’ll have to take a closer look at my remote. Have any of you played with this? Is there any further discus... |
