Jays cdt2mk3

Well as far as cables, really didn't make a big difference yet as I just used Bargain type to get an idea.

My system is in a garage converted with a big heater. 

System was cold, 50 degree cold.  Makes a difference. 

Thanks Alvin1118

My Jays cd2 mkIII is exceeding my expectations and I appreciate your helping me accessing the I2s code correctly and the lead on theQstab with your personal emails. It's performing flawlessly with over 400 hours now. Definitely my end game transport I have too many discs to not give them a better transport.

Ya the amount of information that Transport feeds the DAC is incredible.

I get completely drawn into the music/recording with this thing.

After purchasing a Mark2 that dumped garbage and locking up my QEDX, I purchased the Mk3 board. After the upgrade, the transport sounded dull and two dimensional the first 100 hours. It didn’t even compete against my lowly Oppo. However it open up after an extensive burn-in with XLO track. Even so, if I power down this Jay a couple of weeks, it will take a few hours of playing to weak up. This applies to my unit and in my system. Mileage may varies with yours.

My Jay and Gustard combo takes about one hour to "wake up".
