the current PS Audio Transport, PST, is significantly better than all their previous transports...I have owned the previous 2...all used with the PS Audio Directstream DAC...
CD transports; do they really matter
In my pursuit of total sonic harmony, I have been investigating whether a CD transport ( to replace my bulky and aged Luxman CD player ) would be a good option. I had an interesting conversation with the manufacturers rep of a respected brand regarding his companies CD transport. He basically said its all in the DAC, the transport, as long as its not a cheap component, does not make much or any difference. So, I ask does it really matter?

@charles1dad Thank You for sharing your experiences and how the impression made from the new device proved to offer attraction to the measure where it influenced the choice that was made to exchange the PWT for the Project CD Box RS2 T. After the reports I have read, I have the pre-empted thoughts that I am to encounter a similar experience. As stated I can receive a demonstration of Jay's Audio CDT's as there are models on demonstration local to my home. With a little thought put into the planning, I might be able to have a home loan of the Project and use the PWT, Project and Jay's all in one demonstration session. @jl35 Thank You for your contribution and making your thoughts on the performance of the Perfect Wave PST known, especially how it is comparing to the PWT Model that I use. The PST model will cost approx' £6500 ($9000)in the UK. This figure is beyond the value I would go to as a price for a Transport. As an additional preparation, does it make sense to continue with a COAX Cable as the CDT > DAC Interface, if their are upcoming demonstrations being planned, or will another type of umbilical cable be better to be used for the intended demonstrations?

probably best not to have any pre conceptions as they may influence your conclusions. Just go into each listening session session with an open mind. Learn how to listen critically. Ask yourself how the music communicates at an emotional level. Remember YOU are the one who is going to have to live with the choices you make. |
