| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @lalitk Definitely is my experience on my audio equipment. You got me thinking with your response how CD remastering and reissues can make absolute statements like "always sound better of CD" anachronistic. For instance, how many "Kind of Blue" ... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @thyname "You got a lot of recommendations here to build a short lists. I am so sorry to say at this point you have to listen, compare and contrast by yourself. " I have a great deal of respect for the cumulative insights and knowledge of the f... | |
| 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 @wturkey - Sonic Frontiers is great. I still own a modified/parts upgraded Power 1. | |
| 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... |
