Good: I've had the Cambridge Audio CXC... it was good. Better: I got the Audiolab CDT6000... it was better Best: I now have the Jay's Audio CDT2-MK3... it's fantastic! All three using the same DAC and cables. The new Schiit URD transport is now out. And the Shanling ET3 is on sale now too. I can't imagine them being better than the Jay's. But who knows?? | |||

It will largely depend on the rest of your system (whether "up to task"), and most importantly, your budget. I personally went directly to the CDT3-MK3, so I don’t know. What I know is I will not have regrets in the future. Once and done. People who have had them both I have "met" online say there is a significant improvement going from the CDT2 to the CDT3, but there is no way for me to verify those impressions. By the way, you had it right the first time. The CDT2 is $2,500. You can buy them through the US distributor here: https://www.tekaudiospecialties.com/jay-s-audio |
