Esoteric or CEC cd-transport

As a result I chose CEC TL-1. Compare to TEAC VRDS 20 the sound was much better imo.

Alex...nice unit. I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

Congrats on getting the CEC transport! They have a very engaging, smooth and effortless sound. Since they're a belt drive design they may require some service over the years, but are much better sounding in my opinion as a transport compared to the Esoteric models.

Purchased a CEC TL3N earlier this year, nice unit.
Has anyone heard any CEC DACs?

One question regarding my purchase. I see some non-factory upgrades on the back panel... What is it?
