What’s the deal with high end CD transports not having the ability to program tracks!?

@petg60

But i guess somebody buys a transport in first place for sound quality.

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.

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

Ouite a few seem to be very happy with Pro-Ject's own LPS option or the LTA (Linear Tube Audio) LPS. I'm using the Fidelizer Nikola II LPS  with superb results.

charles1dad,  Thanks so much for the prompt response. Appreciated. Thanks for the directions. Robert

I would be disappointed to purchase a relatively expensive transport and find I can’t program it; but then, I don’t know what’s involved in implementing that function (complexity/cost), either. I’m still trying to understand why disks aren’t indexed, as my Madrigal ‘toaster’ transport has the ability to track them.
