CD Transport to pair with Audio Note DAC 5 - suggestions?


Here's the question: Is there anyone out there with experience with an Audio Note DAC who can recommend a CD Transport that would go well with it? The budget is $3-$4K. There are many fine CDT's out there - I'm looking specifically for one that would complement an Audio Note DAC5. For more background, read on...

I recently bought a used AN DAC5 and in my system and to my ears, it's been nothing short of transformative.
For streaming I paired it with a DCS Network Bridge and I'm very happy with the combo.

For CD's I've been using a TRI CDP as a transport through the DAC5. It sounds really nice - better than expected - but I'm thinking about upgrading to a dedicated transport. The DAC5 just processes Redbook files, so I don't need a CDT that spins SACD or anything else. I'm trying to keep the price under $3-4000 and I'm ok with buying used. 

The Audio Note CDT 3 or even the CDT 2/ii would be a no-brainer for complementing the DAC5 but the price new is way out of budget, and I rarely see them used. 
Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2 - I've read all the positive reviews out there and at under $2500, I'm intrigued. But also have no idea how it would play with the AN DAC.

Any ideas, suggestions?

Hey teajay - I read that Six Moons review a couple months ago - my first introduction to the Jay's transport. I reread it, carefully, after seeing your post this a.m. Great article: a thorough review of the CDT2-mk2, an informative Enco/Phillips history and an interesting discussion of file formats and sample rates. Hard to ask for more!

Great to hear you were the person Srajan quoted - your comparison of the Jay's with the CEC is incredibly helpful, since at this point those are my two leading candidates. Decisions, decisions...
Hey teajay - which transport do you use in your system for reviewing?

Hey bigkidz,

I use the Jay's audio transport though a Black Cat balanced cable in my large system. 
Sparkler Audio makes a very good transport. I’m using my s503 CD player as a transport and the results are fantastic. Best trans I ever had was a highly modified 47 Labs FLatfish. Wish I never got rid of it but the audio bug bit and...
