| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @charles1dad I did not know that Morgan and McLean collaborated. Looking into this I saw that at some point both played with Art Blakey. What do you recommend? | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @jetter Both you and ghdprentice raise an interesting point. To many people playing a CD is an archaic way to listen to music. There are multiple reasons. Consequently, the technology that makes the CD listening experience sublime, i.e the abili... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @jetter Good question. I should check as I am considering purchasing the CD player. @ghdprentice I can see that. The DAC on the CD 6SE is terrific. I haven't made the effort, yet, to listen to HI REZ. I have TIDAL, which has MQA. People on A'... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @charles1dad I would agree with your assessments of Vermeer and Sargent. You have a good eye! I agree about Lee Morgan. I always "liked" him. Sidewinder was one of my first jazz purchases. And then one afternoon I was listening to Art Blakey &a... | |

| best SACD player @gpana Denon dcd-a110 110th anniversary edition sacd player is awesome. Built like a tank. The Redbook playback is detailed, slightly warm timbre which creates a big soundstage. The SACD is excellent. | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @jl35 @ghdprentice @charles1dad I was up late last night, and early today, after adding the ARC CD6SE to my system. I’m impressed. Since I already have ARC (upstream/downstream?) the synergy is what you would expect with the ARC house sound-... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing Transport search update-Will be auditioning an Audio Research CD6SE this coming weekend. While I have been specifically focusing on transports, the CD6SE has an onboard DAC utilizing PCM1792 dac chips (which are Delta Sigma), that can stream my Au... | |
| Problem: Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport Walter and Underwood are outstanding. Way back in 2002, he recommended I purchase a JoLida JD-100 hybrid CD player. One of the things he said is the CD player is so well designed you could still be playing it in 20 years. It's still going strong, ... | |
| Problem: Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport @ajays Sorry to hear about your CD Box problems. I had two. The first replaced under warranty because of CD recognition failure. The second because of the whooshing noise you described. A CD Box dealer I communicated with said Pro-Ject is in the... | |

| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @facten - That's good info. TY! I'm auditioning the 260DT at the end of the week. My DAC has AES/EBU capability. | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @sealegs I am going to audition the Simaudio 260DT. The fit and finish looks fabulous. As mentioned previously, I am concerned about the transport mechanism failures that others have reported. David | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @liquidsound Sounds like a winner. What DAC are you running? David | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing I ordered the Schiit Urd transport. Schiit will let me return up to 15 days, so it’s a good place to start auditioning. If decide to keep it, the unit has up to a 5 year warranty (2 years on the drive mechanism). Like the Pro-Ject CD Box, the Urd... |
