Is A$2,767 the right number for a CDT2, or are you paying extra for convenience rather than value? For this family, that’s a fair-to-slightly-strong asking price in the used market: I’ve seen a mint CDT2 MK3 at A$2,500, and new/retail references sit well above that, so this listing is not out of line unless the condition is ordinary or missing bits.
What makes it worth buying is simple: Jay’s transports are well liked for solid build, quiet disc handling, and very revealing playback, which suits a serious red-book front end. If this one is genuinely clean and includes the remote, original packaging, and a healthy laser, it’s a good way into a respected transport without paying new-money pain.
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.
