RE: Cheap CD Player as Transport Questions

A friend of mine used the Jolida JD 100 as a CD player, and subsequently as a transport for a DAC - using the same sound reasoning you put forth. I advised him to do so as well.

He then bought a Musical Fidelity-M1 CDT transport and asked me to come listen. I told him I wanted to listen to the JD-100 first. When I arrived the JD 100 had been playing for several hours. I listened to it for a while; it sounded good, as it always had. Then he put in the M1 CDT and inserted a disc. A few minutes into the song, I looked over at him and laughed. Cold, with no run-in, it was so obviously better; all I could do was laugh.

That's all I needed to hear.
