JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player

I tried a used PS Audio PW transport and an older base model CEC transport.   The PS Perfectwave did not sound good in my setup (connected via coax to Luxman DA-06 dac).   Music was bland and lacked transparency.   The CEC was notably better than the Perfectwave, but still nothing to celebrate.  

Could be system dependent, given PS Audio is a successful company with a strong following... so your mileage may vary.

I think  it was in the 6moons review that the reviewer said the Jays was better than the CEC

I do use the DMP [newest 3.10 firmware] with the DS dac [newest Snowmass firmware] connected together via PS Audio's proprietary hdmi connection option [using Wireworld platinum 7 ] ...in this setup it does make for one heck of a formidable digital playback system. When using one machine without the other...things could have a different outcome all together. As always...ymmv depending on system synergy.
