Jay's Audio CDT3-MK3 CD Transport This Jay's Audio CDT3-MK3 CD Transport was purchased 6 months ago and it now must go. It's got maybe 300 hours on it. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: EFT.Cash on pick up Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By Kostandinos 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $5,100 Date: January 27Jan 27
The price is ambitious for the current used market: A$5,100 sits well above the A$4,323 75th percentile and far over the A$3,415 median, so this is not a bargain-tier ask. For a buyer, it only makes sense if the unit is exceptionally clean, comes with the right extras, and the seller can justify the premium with provenance or a standout condition report.
That said, this is a serious transport and a respected one: Jay’s Audio gear is generally sought after by listeners who want a no-nonsense, high-end disc spinner with strong mechanical execution and a refined digital front end. If the listing is truly like new, with original packaging, remote, and any factory accessories intact, it could still be a tidy buy for someone specifically chasing this model — just not at a price that leaves much room for negotiation.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Jay's Audio emerged from the passion of founder Jay Ho, a Chinese audio enthusiast whose journey began around 20 years ago with hands-on experimentation across hundreds of power amplifiers. Relocating his operations to the United States—first Georgia, now Texas—Ho established the brand to deliver meticulously engineered digital sources, drawing on decades of trial-and-error refinement. His early focus on Philips CDPro2 LF and CDM4 mechanisms laid the foundation for a lineup prioritizing sonic purity over mass production.
The brand specializes in high-performance CD transports and DACs, such as the acclaimed CDT3-Mk3 and DAC2-Mk3 models, designed explicitly for critical audiophiles seeking Redbook CD playback excellence. While Ho's personal audio lab showcases partnerships with elite brands like Audio Group Denmark and interest in icons such as McIntosh, Jay's Audio remains narrowly focused on transport and digital conversion hardware, eschewing speakers, amplifiers, or headphones to master this niche.
Positioned as a boutique high-end contender, Jay's Audio earns praise in enthusiast circles for its no-compromise builds and transparent soundstaging, as highlighted in reviews from outlets like 6moons. With dedicated reference rooms in Texas featuring military-grade acoustics and power infrastructure, it appeals to discerning buyers chasing ultimate digital retrieval, bridging Chinese precision with American audiophile ambition in a competitive market.
