CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports

why don’t you consider a server? you can burn your cds and get streaming as well

and a really good server  can outperform a cd transport

I have the CEC TL 5. It needed something shortly after I got it and Audio Union here in the States serviced and returned it to me in a week. The remote is a cheesy plastic job, but you can buy a heavy aluminum one that is more appropriate. Have not compared it to the Jay's--. I'm more of an LP guy who uses the CD transport as necessary. No complaints, solid unit in my estimation. 

@digital3  Thank you for letting me know that TMR has a nice one for sale.  As nice as that does look, I think I will be buying new as I’d like a warranty. 
 

@audiotroy  Thank you for your post. That is a good idea, and I may consider a very nice streamer at some point in the future; but at this moment I just want a very nice transport.  
 

@whart  Thank you for your post!!!

I was hoping to hear from actual users of the CEC transports. I too am a vinyl guy.  I’m thinking digital will only comprise 80% of my listening as I truly love listening to my minty vinyl collection 😉

Did you have a chance to compare the CEC with any other transports?

Which transport did you replace?

Was there a significant improvement in sound?

Thank you and best wishes to you all!

I own this machine.   It's quite good.

Audiotroy most of the time I agree with you. But with a good transport and a good DAC  And a nice xrcd ? You can’t just beat this  easy.
