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

Yes, $2500. I hate the double posts. Didn't see the 1st, Thought I exited prior to actually posting. 

I understand the 'once and done' thing for avoidance of regret. I have several component projects under consideration, starting at the source. My Cambridge CXC being the weakest link. I am confident either of Jay's transports would serve as an upgrade. Would likely upgrade my DAC next.   

I have talked to Tekaudio and will likely purchase from them. 

@mesch

Then delete the extra post. That is what that little wheels icon is for.

Tried that, message said that post can't be deleted after 30 mins.  Didn't see it soon enough.

@mesch  you can delete your message regardless of when you posted. Just hit the little wheels icon (top right of your post), and then "delete" from the drop down.

The only one that has a time limit for 30 minutes is the other option, the "edit"
