PS Audio CD Memory Transport?? Yes Or NO

I have thousands of cds and I have 4 or 5 cd players. To me they all sound pretty similar. I want to buy one that would be a step up. I have Marantz 6005, Pioneer cd recorder, California Audio Labs Mark 2 and an old Oppo dvd player. I have a Wyred 4 Sound Dac 2. LIke I said I cannot tell if any of them sound any better than the others. I think the California Audio actually sounds best to me. I have Prima Luna separates and a Luxman 505U integrated amp. The questions is, will I hear any improvement going to a transport with the hard drive to reduce jitter etc. or will it be a waste of money? Any advice or other suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks,

I am quite happy with the Ayon CD player I have. It costs several times what the PWT does, I am familiar with PS Audio gear and would probably have tried the PS Audio PWT if I had not gotten lucky and got the Ayon when I did ...and at a good price.

The idea behind the PWT is excellent and makes sense.

I will be home this Thursday and over the Labor Day weekend and will have it up and running then. I will make comments then. Right now I am working in Oklahoma. I am definitely excited hooking it up.

Dylan fan,
I’ve owned mine for 6 years. It is good straight out of the shipping but improves noticeably with additional hours of use. I think that it’s a wonderful CD transport. Congratulations to you!

charles1dad. Thanks for the comment. What DAC are you using with yours. I have the basic Wyred 4 Sound I will be using. This quality piece will probably warrant an upgrade on my DAC next. We will see. I will keep you posted.
