Jays Audio cdt2 mk3 burn in and user experiences

Dafox

Sorry for the late response . I am using Wireworld Starlight 7 aes/ebu . I purchased it  to test the performance between aes/ebu and Pangea I2s/hdmi cables I had laying around the house. The Wireworld Starlight 7 on aes/ebu sounded better to my ears. I not sure how the Wireworld Starlight 7 compares to other aes/ebu but for a reasonable price it's working fine for me and is musically satisfying. Hope this helps......

I want to buy a Jay's CD transport but have been leery of importing one as I can't figure out how much the duty/tariff is. But, I just learned they have a US connection, TEK Specialists in Buda, TX. 

Does anyone know how to contact them?

bill-k,

I got my CDT2 Mk3 from Tek Audio, thank you for the heads up.

So far I'm thrilled with what I'm hearing. I've only burned it in for 48 hours and it already sounds great.

One odd thing. My DAC is a Berkeley Alpha 3 which is HDCD capable. I realize the Jay's isn't, but neither was the Oppo 203 I was using. But with the Oppo the HDCD signal was recognized and decoded by the Berkeley. With the CDT2 Mk3 the Berkeley doesn't recognize the HDCD signal. All the research I've done indicates that the transport doesn't make any difference with HDCD. As long as the DAC is HDCD capable you should be able to take advantage of it. 

I've asked Jay's about this and am waiting to hear back. Anyone have any ideas? 

Glad to hear you're so pleased with the Jay's transport! You might try contacting Berkeley Audio Design about HDCD recognition, bet they'd know what it takes for their DACs to recognize and decode an HDCD signal.
