MUSEATEX CDD


Hi All

I recently aquired a NOS Melior CD-D transport that had never been plugged in since it was new. I was wondering if anyone else owns or has experience with this transport?
I only have about 6 hours playing time on it so far. It sounds a a little tight and veiled campared to my Audio note CDT-One. I am hoping further breakin will help.
Any knowlege will be appreciated!
Thanks
Sheldon

A mere six hours of break-in is probably too early to make an eval. You should let the thing stay on for at least 24 hours continuously as well. How did you come by a NOS unit?

I got a great result with a used CD-D running into either a Bidat and Idat, both modded by John Wright. I still own both DACs. I can't tell you about the CDD separately since I never used it with a non-Museatex DAC.

Unfortunately, my CDD failed, and these units can't be repaired since there are no longer any replacement drives available. I think you are lucky to have a NOS one, and you might want to try a Museatex DAC with it before drawing any final conclusions.
PS. I second Darkmoebius' recommendation of a Moray James digi cable, esp with a Museatex DAC.
