If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
Hi Wig,Honestly, I'm not sure what the jitter level is for either transport.  I'm assuming it's low for both transports.  I do no measuring for my reviews, but base my conclusions on extensive listening of the review piece with a comparison to oth...

Hey Guys,A preview on the CDT-2 MKII has just gone up on Six Moons website.  Srajan Ebaen was kind enough to use my comments in his preview overview.  By the way he explains some of the major points of interest regarding build quality vs cost and ...

Hey Guys,All my listening notes are now complete for my review on the CDT-2 MK-2 transport.  If you want a Red Book CD transport that, does not upsample the bit stream, to deliver an analog type liquidity (very much like a CEC belt drive transport... 
Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback?
First,Transports do make a difference in the performance of the DAC it is driving.  I highly recommend that you take a look at thread I started on the Jay's Audio CDT-2 MK-2 transport that I'm reviewing for hometheaterreview.com.  I have a very lo... 
Usher R1.5 should I buy?
Hey Guys,Just wanted to share that I have the Usher 1.5 amplifier in my reference system right now.  The amplifier was re-biased by the individual I purchased it from to a higher class A bias.  This amplifier is wonderful!  It easily is on the sam... 
Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
Hey beme54,Of course, a high end store is going to tell you that Tekton Speakers are inferior, that's how threatened they are by Tekton's new designs, performance and price compared to what speaker brands they stock and sell.  No offense to the Pa...

Hey audiolabyrinth,I totally agree that you can speculate on which transport would sound better.  However, I have heard the latest generation of the PS Audio DS transport and I prefer what the Jay's Audio CDT-2 MK-2 does in my system with my DAC.Y...

Hey rx8man,The Jay's Audio is not just a decent transport but performs at a reference level.  Which CEC do you own?  Remember, my reference until this piece was a CEC, the Jay's Audio provides the analog liquidity of the belt drive and adds on muc...

Hey d2girls,Regarding the PD-S95 transport I never had one in my system, but do know they are highly regarded.It's funny that you mention the Sparkler transport, I tried to setup a review on it with the importer, but it just never worked out.

Hey Brian,Because I'm lucky to do professional reviewing I have owned and reviewed what are considered reference level DACS.  However, the quality of the CD transport can/does make a significant difference in the quality of what your DAC finally p...

Hi jriggy,Yes, I have heard the PS Audio PWT transport and thought it was fine sounding, but not quiet as "musical" or having some of the liquidity of my other transports historically. I forgot to mention on the list of transports that I have also...
