Cd transport

So cable upgrades are fruitless and now CD transports are too according to negative Nancy. My Jay's cdt2 mk3 is a monumental rebuttal to those claims. I owned a ps audio pwt cd transport and a Cambridge CXC and the Jay's has simply put them to shame. End of that story.

Cyrus makes a nice cd transport in the Cdt...$1299.

+1 for the Audiolab 6000 CDT . It’s been rock solid for me.

It's the conversion from digital to analog where the magic makes the biggest difference. 

I am returning the Audiolab 6000 CDT and Audioquest Cinnamon digital cable. This combination lacked air and was flat when compared to streaming Qobuz.  This includes most CD quality streaming.  This doesn't mean that this transport is bad, but it wasn't good in my setup.  My streaming is via USB into a McIntosh MA12000.  I've decided to give up on CD transport in that the McIntosh transport with proprietary cable is way too much when I already have a good turntable.
