Lavry DA10 and CD transport


To my surprise a high quality CEC TL-1X CD transport is only marginally better than the CEC 3300-R CDP if both are used with the Lavry DA10 DAC. This means that (please choose from the following options):
1. The Lavry DA10 DAC is not sensitive to CD transports.
2. The Lavry DA10's resolution is not high enough to
discriminate between transports.
3. The CEC 3300-R is a very good transport.
4. The CEC TL-1X is a bit outdated transport (despite the
steep price difference with the 3300-R).
5. There was a matching problem between CD-transport/power
cord or CD-transport/digital interconnect.
6. I've been paying too much money for the transport if I'm
using the DA10 DAC (because I own a CEC TL-1X).
7. If you own the Lavry, don't replace your old CD-transport
if you are considering a pricier and more sophisticated
transport, because you would otherwise only be waisting
money.

I agree with Bob. And one other thought: it may not be that the Lavry is not discriminating but rather that it is so well-designed that it takes the transport out of the equation.
Hi Drubin, that would be one of the possibilities, yes. Personally I've never encountered a D/A converter that is not sensitive for transports, even megabuck ones. So there might be another explanation. I'm still in doubt...

Totally disagree, I do not think the Lavry DA10 DAC is up to the task of the CEC TL-1X.

If you try Lavry's top model, then there will be definetely difference
