Which Transport or CD Player?

Looking for a great CD playback solution and considering:

1. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T

2. Jay's Audio CDT2-MK3

Other options: Denon Anniversary Edition DCD-A110 or Marantz SA-KI RUBY CD Player.  These each have a DAC so could be a plus or minus...another DAC to play with but a compromised transport.  I currently have a Border Patrol SEi dac but not married to it.  

Anyone compare these?  Looking for recommendations.  Thanks

I got my RS2 T in '20 before reviews pushed up the demand.

I've never experienced any glitches nohow. YRMV.

Are you utilizing the R2S?  What DAC are you using?

I would suggest you take the time to read through the RS2 thread and then decide if you want to deal with the quality control and delivery issues they have been having for almost a year.  You will find no such complaints about the Jays units. 

Haven't read through the entire thread, but the drive unit appears to be superior on the Project and so many people are raving about the sound.  The reported issues are concerning as are the problems with the I2S compatibility.  Seems like a big oversight on Project's part.

Would be really great to hear both, but unlikely.  Do you use the I2S to connect to your DAC?

Do you have the CDT2-MK3?  Had a chance to compare to the Project?
