I have found I like the sound of the spdif output vs AES with the same cable (audioquest diamond) on each into my DCS Rossini DAC. I also spent some time comparing the Audio Envy digital spdif cable to the audioquest diamond and was hoping the cheap Audio Envy would be better but unfortunately the Audioquest is better sounding. I have a 1m spdif diamond and 1.5 m AES diamond and to me the spdif sounds more relaxed and just a touch better than the AES cable.
pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3
I have been following a lot of posts here , but I have not read of any comparisons as of the 2 transports . I am on the fence about the 2 transports as it does not seem that there is to many choices in that price range. I can purchase both transports for about the same price . any body compare them yet or have any other thoughts . thanks

Funny that someone asked Jay's if they'd go with Streams Unlimited as I recently asked/recommended to Technics that they do a strictly CD top loader using the Streams Unlimited when inquiring as to when they were coming out with their new integrated. Never heard back from them but I also told them they'd corner the audiophile market if they could come up with one for under the price of the Pro-Ject as they have the massive infrastructure in place to do so and can scale up production making it a win-win all around. I hope someone took notice. 👍 All the best, |
Hope springs eternal 😊 Good rationale for why Technics should follow suit but I seriously doubt that They would. Seems large companies like this with an ample engineering department are motivated to develop via in house resources more often than not. It is not at all surprising that the higher end boutique companies are more aggressive in utilizing latest technology from a boutique (But highly capable) developer like Stream Unlimited. |
@charles1dad , Yup. Those big companies have the resources, facilities and egos to match. 😀. I’d be happy if they just came out with a top loader CDT without all the streaming attached to it. The reviews on their latest SACD/streamer are very good and they could conceivably make one. They already have an all in one mini system top loader with active speakers and (I think) some streaming capabilities. They could easily make a CDT version to a higher standard but like you say, hope springs eternal. All the best, |
