CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports
@chayro Hi, I'm using the "Super Burndy" which connects the CDSII to the XPS.  Is that what you are asking me?  I'm sorry if I am misunderstanding. Best wishes, Don

@mbmi I love your excitement you have regarding the CEC/Laiv!  I'm curious, what other cd transports have you compared with the CEC? How did they compare or differ in sound? Thank you for your post! Best wishes, Don

@whart I appreciate your recent post!  It seems as though you and I may be somewhat similar. I do a lot of research, auditioning in home when possible, etc before buying a piece of gear.  I too have been lucky in that I've been very happy with th...

@chayro I have to believe that the TL5 with an Audio Note Dac 2.1 Signature is an amazing sounding digital rig! I think overall the Naim does a pretty good job.  It's dynamic, full sounding with great soundstagning.  But it still sounds digital t...

@oddiofyl Thank you for sharing your comments!  The Teac is a great machine by many accounts and I hope it gives you many years of great and reliable service.  I think I am personally leaning more towards a top loading machine myself. Best wishes...

@chayro Thank you for your reply!  Yes, the CDT3 is a heavy beast at 50lbs.  However, the CDT2 only comes in at 33 lbs, still heavy, but more manageable. I'm happy to hear that you've been enjoying your CEC!  Which dac are you using with it?  Doe...

@rsf507  @larsman  @oddiofyl  Thank you to all of you for your posts!  I agree with you.  I have read from many that as good as streaming can sound, even with a very expensive streamer, a top notch cd transport and dac will outperform the strea...

@whart Thank you for your reply!  I've been a vinyl guy for 50 years and love my analog rig and all my minty lp's.  However, I am noticing there is some great music that I am missing out on that I can't get on vinyl, hence the reason I am trying t...

@digital3  Thank you for letting me know that TMR has a nice one for sale.  As nice as that does look, I think I will be buying new as I’d like a warranty.    @audiotroy  Thank you for your post. That is a good idea, and I may consider a very nic...

@stuartk Thank you!  I just replied   
Jay’s Audio CD Transport
@stuartk Thank you for your comment.  Obviously, for the amount of money we stick into this hobby, I want the system to look nice.  However, I don't get obsessive about it.  Ultimately, I want to get the best sound that I can from my limited budge... 
Jay’s Audio CD Transport
@stuartk "I don't know if this matters to you but I find the writing difficult to read on the black face. Not really an issue if you use the remote but a difference from the silver face, all the same." You do bring up a good point.  Although, I do...

@tekaudiospecialties1 I'm still trying to ascertain whether or not the Jay's CDT2 and the CDT3 utilize the same OCXO clocks and if not, how do they differ? Thank you and best wishes, Don  
Six DAC Comparison
I agree, one who actually has the LTA AERO dac currently order, I am very interested in hearing what @mitch2 has to share regarding its sonics, etc. This should be very interesting to many of the forum members and I truly appreciate him taking on...
