i'ld like to know your experience: please indicate two CDT: your prefer and wich one you have comparated with (also integrated cd player but only use as transport)
I just ordered the Jay's Audio CDT2-MK3 Transport to play Reebook CD's to mate with my Pontas II 12th DAC. I still have my Oppo BDP105D for universal media playback and to play external hard drive files.
Nutty, I have the CDT2 MK2 paired with the Pontas II 12th Anniversary DAC. So far it's the best digital playback I have had. On par with Bluesound Node output to the Pontus II. The Sony Walkman is my backup...

The Bluesound Node is on equal footing with your Jay’s Audio CD transport?
Yes. Actually sounds better sometimes with the Denafrips DAC. I know there are a great many streamers out there that will out perform the Node. No doubt. But they also have much bigger price tags. I wanted to see how much better the Node could sound by swapping a better power supply and adding a very good DAC. I was very surprised. The Node does not get the respect it deserves IMO.
This is a very good thread. Lots of very good information on CD transports, without any of the usual snarky (a $16 eBay DVD player is just as good) comments from certain forum participants.
If someone is interested on a CD transport (digital output only), but, with additional added functionality, I would recommend the T+A MP 200. It is a streamer (and Roon Ready certified endpoint), and a radio (FM, HD, and more).
