| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @8th-note Your observations of Jay's CDT3 concur with what others on discussion boards, and a couple of trade magazine reviews have said. HDCD is a resolving format and can easily understand why having a cd player that decodes is a good thing. ... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @charles1dad - I have TIDAL and Aurender has terrific synergy/sound quality. I like putting on the streamer when I want to listen/sample in depth musicians and/or types of music. There are times I find something I really like and then will buy t... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @curiousjim My DAC has I2S capability and that's something I'm factoring in. I had a Holo DAC and ran a Singxer bridge between my Aurender music server and the DAC. I noticed an improvement in sound quality. | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @twoleftears More good recommendations! TY I researched and listened to both the Simaudio 260d and the Primare DD35. The Sim has transport issues, which is what torpedoed my second Pro-Ject transport. I auditioned the Primare in my system and ... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @jetter Thanks for the recommendation. Did some research and this is what I learned- The URD’s CD drive uses StreamUnlimited‘s metal tray-loading Redbook CD mechanism. StreamUnlimited manufactures CDPro8 and BlueTiger servo boards. I will be cu... | |

| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @charles1dad - Yes, for old times sake! I have each of the CD's mentioned. Excellent, indeed. And wonderful recordings with intimacy best appreciated on a resolving audio system. Have you heard these? Curtis Counce-You get more bounce with Curt... | |

| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @bigkidz - You are a wealth of information, and between you and Charles1dad helped me decide on purchasing the Pro-Ject CD Box. I was very fortunate that I was able to return the second CD Box for refund, so I do not have one to offer up. The CE... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @stuartk - Thanks for your insights! I recall, from another thread, you briefly owned the Pro-Ject CD Box. How would you compare the sound quality, presentation etc.. between your Jay's CD transport and the Pro-Ject? Thanks! David | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @thyname Thanks for weighing in. Have been reading/comparing the two Jay's transports recommended here. Have you compared either to the Pro-Ject CD Box? And what do you mean by "house sound"? Thanks! David | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @lalitk - Much appreciated. I’ve done research and the Aqua La Diva M2 regularly shows up as a transport with the characteristics I appreciate. It has the CD Pro-8S CD transport, which is the same one in the Pro-Ject CD Box. Have you heard the or... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @knock1 - I went from the CXC, which is a decent transport, to the Pro-Ject and it was audio nirvana. How would you compare/contrast the CXC and your Jay's Audio CDT2 MKIII? It's on my radar, for sure. As I mentioned I'm looking for highly resol... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @lalitk - @twoleftears- Thanks for the recommendations! Have you heard either the TEAC or the Shanling? |
