Anyone have any experience with CD transports? Particularly Jay’s Audio?


So my question is:  Does anyone have any personal experience with Jay’s CD transports? Particularly The CDT2?  The current version is MKIII and the one I am seriously considering purchasing.  I have hundreds of CD’s and they are still my preferred medium.  I also have a Roon Nucleus that I love, but I still favor CD the majority of the time.  I’ve spent several hours researching CD transports and Jay’s is universally praised by those that own them.  I’ve also looked at PS Audio’s CD/SACD unit, but it’s over 2x the cost of Jay’s and out of my reach.  I look forward to your thoughts....

I've had my Jay's Audio CDT2 MK 3 for about 6-months now and am very happy with the performance.  It replaced a 47-labs Flat-Fish (also a good transport) and I'm using the I2S output into an Denafrips Terminator-2 DAC.  The combination is very good and is nearly as good as the sound from my Innuos ZENith MK3/Phoenix set-up when playing the same CD that I loaded into the Innuos on the CDT2.  Highly recommended for those who have a large collection of CD's and don't want to load them all into a music server.  Very well-built transport.
