JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player

I’d prefer the coax every time. I’m jealous.

The DMP has received tons of top flight reviews from the audio press from around the globe since its inception. And for what it’s worth,I own one and it is an awesome sounding transport. I have not heard the Jays Audio or read much about it. Can you explain why the Jays outperforms the DMP?

Hello aolmrd1241,

The Jay's transport does three things better in my system then the PS Audio: 1) It soundstages with a more accurate sense of space and layering in that space.  2) The individual images are more 3D with air around them.  3) There is a more overall sense of liquidity and dynamics/aliveness.

Have you installed the new firmware 3.10 for the DMP ? What you describe can be said for the DMP as well. And I must agree with your statement "in your system". Everything in this hobby is... without doubt... system dependent.
