@vthokie83  Hi, Im really sorry, but it appears that I missed your post …”And have you made a decision, or bought something yet?” I have bought a new LTA Aero Dac, but have not yet bought a dedicated CD transport yet.  I’m getting closer, but h...

CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports
@vthokie83  Hi, When you had the opportunity to compare both the Jay’s Audio CDT2 and CDT3, do you happen to remember if an external clock was being used with either or both of the transports? Thank you! Don

@oddiofyl  Thank you for your reply! I think I have read that using an external clock can really step up the sound of the Teac; not that the Teac is bad sounding on its own.  In fact, I have been given the impression that most transports will ben...

@soix Hi, I’ve only had it for a week so I only have very initial impressions at the moment. Also keep in mind that I have only used my vintage Rotel 955AX as a transport. I bought the Acoustic Zen Absolute “copper foil” true 75 ohm digital ca...

@oddiofyl Hello and thank you for your post! It’s great to know that you are hearing a much better sound from your new Teac vs the Oppo as a transport… that there is no comparison! That helps give me more faith in replacing my old Rotel 955ax wi... 
Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC
@facten  Hello and thank you for your post! How does a manufacturer optimize one digital output over another? Why wouldn’t they want all digital outputs to sound great? I would think that by only optimizing one output you would be limiting your...
