Jay’s Audio CD Transport

I’m just curious if anyone has been able to see the black version of either the Jay’s Audio CDT2 or CDT3 in the flesh?

I haven’t been able to see either in person as of yet, but all of the photos I see are usually of the silver version. 

Im wondering what you have thought of the finish quality of the black vs the silver version. 

I ask as my other components are black and I’m just trying to decide which color to go with. 
 

Thank you and best wishes to you all,

Don

@ja_kub_sz - You're certainly checking out a lot of great gear. I'd be very interested in your findings on the Matrix Audio MS-1 once you get it, haven't seen much on it yet since it's so new. Very impressive build with a lot of potential. I look forward to reading about your evaluations as they continue. TIA

@tekaudiospecialties1 I'm still trying to ascertain whether or not the Jay's CDT2 and the CDT3 utilize the same OCXO clocks and if not, how do they differ?

Thank you and best wishes,

Don

The CDT 2 does not have a clock in /out.  The CDT3 has a better power supply and uses a CD2 pro where the CDT2 uses a CDM4 laser assembly.

It looks like they share the same OCXO as in the OCK2 clock by LHY a subsidiary of Jay's.

A top loading CD transport with the controls on the front is blasphemy.
