PS Audio CD Memory Transport?? Yes Or NO

I have thousands of cds and I have 4 or 5 cd players. To me they all sound pretty similar. I want to buy one that would be a step up. I have Marantz 6005, Pioneer cd recorder, California Audio Labs Mark 2 and an old Oppo dvd player. I have a Wyred 4 Sound Dac 2. LIke I said I cannot tell if any of them sound any better than the others. I think the California Audio actually sounds best to me. I have Prima Luna separates and a Luxman 505U integrated amp. The questions is, will I hear any improvement going to a transport with the hard drive to reduce jitter etc. or will it be a waste of money? Any advice or other suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks,

Hello TH, 
 It sure seems as though you unfortunately got a defective PWT.  I have one of their earlier units and it has been excellent and trouble free for well over 6 years of nearly daily use.  I've had none of the problems described by you. Let us know your outcome with the replacement PWT.

I own the newer version, the Direct Stream Memory player and couldn't be happier.

I too own the Directstream Memory player and also the Directstream DAC.  All I can say is sell a kidney and get the combination.  PM me to see how you can get both units at a very good discount
