CD transports; do they really matter
Somewhat off topic, but I had issues inserting disc's into the top-loading well of the Pro-ject without catching the disc on the side of the well. Does anyone know whether the well is less cramped on the Jay's?

@noske : "However something that may be quite relevant, I reckon, is that in comparing a CDP with a transport plus DAC, is that the DACs are in fact being compared". Perhaps the answer to this is to run a digital cable from the CDP (thereby bypa...
