Does a new cd transport require break-in time?
Charlie,It seems we have many coincidences.I, too, have an excellent silver coax cable.The problem with the noise on pause, I’m sure, is a Gungy phenomenon.  I get it too.  If the unit weren’t so good, it would be a most definite deal breaker.  We...

It’s aggravating to find out the CXC is capable of accessing tracks but can’t because of marketing!Also, I’m having issues with  mistracking on the unit. 
Am I an Audiophile, a music lover-or both?
Schubert,So, so true. I find I give in to my prurient interests and listen to recordings for sound only, when I can’t get into vital music. This can happen for long periods.Even so, if the music has little or no value I can’t stay with it for long... 
Do you listen mainly to Audiophile CDs and records?
I’m happy and somewhat surprised to hear that the overwhelming majority in this thread deny that sound is a prime factor in determining what they listen to.After all, this is an audiophile forum.  One would expect sound to play a more important pa...

Does a new cd transport require break-in time?
Yes, I tested the inputs several times, and unplugged it numerous times.I spent so much time on the floor in back of the stereo all day yesterday that I developed a huge blood boil on the top of my foot where I dragged it to get up.Just came back ... 
Does a new cd transport require break-in time?

No, on the Cambridge transport. 
Does a new cd transport require break-in time?
I tried several times plugging and unplugging the Oppo to no avail.Now here’s a real queer problem:After removing and re-plugging the coax cable between the DAC and the transport: NO SOUND!Tried pulling and returning power cords and removing and r...

Meanwhile back at the ranch.......I have received the Cambridge transport in question, and it’s a big improvement, right out of the box, on the Oppo 105D I’ve been using as a transport.  We’ll see if it gets even better as time goes on.Bad news:  ...

I didn’t know the Solti Ring was released on Telefunken.  I thought it was only on London.You are right though, when the two come together it’s bliss! 
looking for the best cd transport only, without dac
As a result of this discussion, I’ve ordered the Cambridge CXC transport to go with my Gungnir Multibit DAC.  The Gungy sounds quite good with an Oppo 105D Blu-ray player I use as a transport. But I’m hoping the CXC will make a significant improve...
