Try a Studer D 730 from the 90... that is the best I ever had - Mark Levinson nr. 37 is good but..... not in the same league. I have both.
A good transport and you don't recognize your CD's.

older CD transport vs newer ones.
I added a fairly inexpensive CD transport to my DCS Rossini DAC/Clock and am shocked how much better it sounds spinning a disc vs streaming it. It's not even a close call. I was thinking of bettering my CD transport and was looking at options such at the Jay's CD transport. There are also options such as Mark Levinson 31.5 which was a 10K unit in it's day. Any thoughts on the best way to go? I get a little worried about one of these older units breaking and not being able to get it fixed.

my cd rips played from my computer's hard drive sound better than the cds played from the transports. Sorry that's impossible if the same transport and CD!!!! was used to do the copy with, and both were using the same dac, and exactly the same digital link up to the dac. CD!!!'s are not the same here is the one and only album by these guys re-released over time.

H snsi, can you list what you read that improves? Because this is what doesn't: Twice the jitter Twice the error correction Twice the power supply noise, (even worse than twice because the computer is a noisy SMP) The spdif digital output circuit from a good transport is far more exacting that that of a computer sound card. And I'm sure there even more if I think about it. Cheers George |
