CD Transports

As I said on the other CD transport thread.

"Cambridge Audio CXC is a great transport said to have just 5ps of jitter!! for less than $600 in Australia

Just make sure whatever you buy the laser or the complete laser/mech model no. is made clear and it’s available for less than $100 anywhere, not just from the maker of the CD player. Ebay is a great place to see if it’s readily available NEW!
Here is a great place to see what laser is used, http://vasiltech.narod.ru/CD-Player-DAC-Transport.htm"

if you read the linked story, there are listed FOUR parts to the quality of the transport, not just ’jitter’.

Jitter and frequency are one of the main ones you can look at yourself if you have the equipment, as Lamipzator said what I sent him the Cambridge CXC is about as good as it as gets.
And for $500 new it’s a no brainer.
And most important the Sony laser/mech is readily available for less that $50, unlike some unobtainable CD transports who’s lasers are unobtainable new, and up to $500 used if you can find one.

The Atoll transport can be serviced in the U.S. and uses a Teac 5020 CD drive.

This one uses the  Sanyo SF-P101N or the SE a  VAM1202/12

This Cambridge CXC transport spdif output wave form is even better with the scope loaded better.
Much faster rise time and sill no jitter to see. They said it’s only got 5 ps of jitter in the specs.

I can say as a casual entrant into the field of digital playback, the transport does make a difference.

That’s because of the jitter created from the output as I’ve shown in my above post, and that Lampizator explains.

This is my new Cambridge Audio CXC transport I sent Lampizator this pic of it, and he said. https://ibb.co/fXSQKxK
