I must day -I have better luck with Cyrus gear.
I have Signature phonostage with outboard psu and found it very very good- in line with what hifi findings. I have CDt as well - and it's exceptional fom sound quality point of view. Better than Ikemi and Jays Audio I had as transport.
Yes-it's less tolerant to bad disks but this is feature-not bug.
It's the reason for better sound. Just do the copy of defective disk and no problems.
