New, Very Interesting CD Transport
I bought the ET3 (silver) and it looks and feels very nice. Solid build, great back panel with lots of options. The I2S worked with my Pro-Ject DAC Box RS2, sending complete CD info. Sadly, though, the ET3 refuses to work properly. The firmware l... 
USB CD Transports
@mitchagain:   Sadly, the ET3 is going back to MusicTeck. The firmware consistently locks up, and though the CD is recognized and data is sent to the DAC, neither the remote nor the buttons on the unit will work, so playing the CD is impossible....

I have the cable, but haven't tried it yet. We just moved into a new house and unpacking is taking priority. In a few days maybe.

I love the thought of owning the CEC, Jay's Audio, Aurender or other higher-end transport or player. For now, I am enjoying my under-$800.00 Shanling. I think the music I am hearing feels somehow "lighter"; maybe more airy or quicker. Yet there's ...

CD Transport with XLR Out
I have the Pro-Ject DAC Box RS2 and love it. I rolled the tubes a couple of times and I run it exclusively in tube mode. I'm all set to buy the matching transport, but alas, the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T is nowhere to be found; even the website says i... 
What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased?
Vandersteen 2ce Signature (II or III; can't remember which). I let them go in 1990 because I was going back to school and couldn't fit them in a dorm room. They were the first speakers I ever owned that hung a solid, deep, tall image in front of m...
