How does the Jays CDT3 Mk3 compare with the PST? I don’t care about the SACD of the PST. I am wondering how the two players compare for regular CD playback.
Unless SACD is a priority go with the Jays CDT3 Mk3. I have owned both, PM for details if you wish to discuss further.

I recently bought the new Shanling CDT3, you might want to check it out, also has I2S out
I had a PST and a CDT2 MK3 and I heard no difference with redbook (regular) CDs.
The build quality of the Jays is impressive. Keep in mind that it’s top loading.

The reason I can’t use the Jay’s is because it’s top loading. I have been enjoying my PST problem free for a couple of years now but I am curious about the Jay’s.

What dac are you using?
I am using a fully APS modded DSD. It is not the signature version but it is nice.
I went with the PST for warranty, service, and to try SACD’s

I share @weedeewop’s generalized opinion about the two transports as having owned both. The sonic differences are not dramatic but there nonetheless.

I can’t speak for the PST(I did own the PS DMP transport) but I thoroughly compared the CDT3 MK3 with my Luxman D10x used as a transport… under the same conditions… and the Jays was much better at providing the musical goods!
