Anyone upgrade from Jays CDT2MK3 to CDT3MK3?

@baclagg Thats disappointing considering it’s double the price. I may be better served by upgrading my Denafrips Pontus II DAC to the Venus instead.

@mksun  I’m not saying it isn’t better yet. I only have a few hours listening and when I have listened, I’m not in the right mind because I’m anticipating a skip. I haven’t had a chance to relax and listen. I do believe there is more bass present and I’ve noticed a wider soundstage. 

"Out of curiosity, did you notice a significant sonic improvement of the CDT3 over the CDT2?"

I would not say "significant," but it is smoother. The jitter levels are enough lower than the CDT2 that it is audible; and the innards look beefier.

You might reach out to Todd at TEK audio -- they are the US repair facility for Jay’s and he’s a good guy. He might have a suggestion or two.

I have the CDT2MKIII and have never had issues. 

My backup transport - the CDT2 Mk3 - was an offered upgrade. The original machine was a Mk2. I paid for an upgrade board to be sent to me by Jay's. It was pretty easy to install. This was a few years ago.
