Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
I think that Ill s__t awhile longer, thanks. 
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
Many thanks, bigkidz, for an illuminating comparison.Especially helpful was your association, respectively, of .....the NOS with a kind of musicality that yields the "texture and timbre" of certain instruments, and .....the OS with increased resol... 
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
That is very illuminating, bigkidz.Would it be possible to characterize the improvement that you detected in the OS output over the NOS output of the NANO? Does either the Rega or the CEC OS? That would provide a useful base of comparison with the... 
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
celander:That's right, Sir. I like the Jay's Audio DAC, and also the Denafrips Pontus. They stay in my system[s].The OP was all about the choice of a transport: putatively inferior NOS- and OS-capable [Nuprime] that I already have or putatively su...

Itazhak1969:You've made it abundantly clear that you really can't take a point; it is equally clear that you really do not understand the point of the OP.So, I too think that we have run out of reasons to continue our exchange here.By all means, t... 
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
itazhak:The first lines of your post make absolutely no sense.I said: "To be honest, I cannot hear a bit of difference "--- That is, no difference in a comparison bt. the OS and the NOS inputs from my transport when processed by the Jay's Audio DA... 
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
celander:Thanks for a useful post. I have compared some of the OS settings on the CDT8 with its NOS setting, feeding the Jay's DAC.... To be honest, I cannot hear a bit of difference. More listening is called for.Just to be clear: I already own th... 
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
celander:The first line of the OP still holds: "I currently have a Nuprime CDT 8 feeding a Jay's Audio DAC." 
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
celander:I do think that you are missing the point. It's not about the comparative virtues or defects of OS transports per se; it's about the comparative merits and defects of OS transports when they feed an OS-capable DAC.The two high quality DAC...

Many thanks for the kind, and optimistic, word, maxima95. 
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
Nice Strother Martin impression, lpretiring.Despite all the well-meaning responses to my OP, I have received precious little real help in answering my basic question, formulated and re-formulated many times...about the comparative merits of 1. A p... 
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
itzhak1969:Where is the switch on the Chord 2qute DAC that enables one to OS  an incoming NOS signal? I can't see one on any of the pictures.... and there is no reference to that NOS-OS capability in any of the reviews.Any other DACs with the feat... 
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
itzhak1969That is interesting.What are some of the DACs that have an onboard switch that allows the user to choose between OS and NOS mode, even if the incoming signal from the transport is strictly NOS? 
Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC?
That is a fair comment, celander.
