Good question, i guess they figured out that people do not record from CD anymore.
Skip button works just fine but if you want to record on tape it is a drawback. But i guess somebody buys a transport in first place for sound quality.
What’s the deal with high end CD transports not having the ability to program tracks!?
First it was the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2, now I find out that the Jay’s Audio transports also lack this feature. I am scratching my head wondering why on earth anyone would deliberately leave out such a basic feature that has been a part of CD playback since the very beginning? I can’t see how including it could possibly have any impact on sound quality. Sure, some don’t use, or care about this feature, but others do. Why tick off potential customers in an already limited market? Are they trying to make the experience more like vinyl? If so, that seems pretty lame. The other thing that is frustrating, is that none of the professional reviews even bother to mention this lack of a very basic feature. Has anyone purchased one of these transports unaware of this, and been disappointed?

@bkeske +1 I programmed a couple times and gave up; wasn't worth the effort ... |
Yes, you’d think that by far this is the major consideration for an “audio “ component. However it’s apparent that some specific features matter to some people. I listen to CDs all the way through so programming tracks has no significance to me. But that’s just me. Manufacturers probably have determined that it is a seldom utilized feature for the vast majority. Charles |
Charles1dad, turned me towards the new Project RS2T transport. As I was comparing two other, CEC TL5 and Jays CDT2 mk3. Currently using a Audiolab 6000 transport with Benchmark Dac 3B and enjoy it very much. I don't think I ever programmed tracks, nor do I know how to do it, even if I could. I just choose a track, and move to another via remote, and exit when it's time to move to another CD. My main concern is SOUND. Just what I'm accustomed to doing. My 2 cents. Ps can anyone suggest a good linear power supply if I choose to go with the Project RS2T? Thanks Robert TN |
