Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback?

@celander - I used Wyred4Sound’s version of that. they do work, but the benefits varied. I also use a Squeezebox. With an ARC DAC 8 the Remedy reclocker was an important improvement. When I upgraded to a Mytek Brooklyn it no longer made any difference.

That’s what I mean about the age of the DAC making a big difference. The new one’s seem to be much better at handling jitter, as well as playing back redbook.

Best,

I don’t know about transports, but the DACs are MUCH better over the past 10 years for Redbook. Simply stunning by comparison. My guess is the clocks or reclocking circuits have improved, but other things like the common use of quad dac chips for a single channel may also be contributing.
