CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE


I CURRENTLY USE A CAMBRIDGE TRANSPORT WITH MY BERKELEY DAC 2 AND TOGETHER IT SOUNDS VERY, VERY GOOD - ALMOST GREAT : )

AMP, SPEAKERS AND CABLES ARE ALL EXCELLENT TOO.  

WHAT CD TRANSPORT WILL MAKE A SIGNIFICANT, AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE?

My ps audio transport drawer stopped functioning, and didn’t think it was worth the shipping and repair costs.  Had stored all of my cds to roon core and subscribed to the principle that digital coming off solid state medium rather from a spinning disc was inherently superior.  Bought the project r2 transport special from underwood.  Without hyperbole, found the music superior to my network/streaming to the dac.  The transport came a day earlier than the digital rca, had an old mit 350 rca cable.  Even better than the digital cable

The Digital era started with CDs.

If you don’t mind, what DAC and music server/streamer are you using? The RS2T sounds excellent with its standard wall wart power supply, yet improves further with an external LPS substitution. I purchased my RS2T from Underwood Hifi as well.

I am using qobuz.  Sonore ultra rendu as a roon player via usb to audio gd r7 

I do find the project to be “picky”with disc quality.   CDs that were kept on my car visor organizer have occasional skips.   The sq on Red book is not incremental.  
my wife was a technician for Bosendorfer in Japan, came to the listening room and what I bought from the Tampa audio show and how much I spent.   She has gotten used to the idea that 875 dollars is a value purchase
