For me its not a matter of throwing in the towel on CJ. After yet another upgrade to audirvana software on my systems ( regulated Paul Hynes linear powered) macbook the system is sounding great. Best ever. ( not sure how this keeps occurring with each upgrade to that particular music player, but it does).
I was listening to some Dave Brubeck earlier and it sounds brillliant.
The ET5 is just a case of audiophile nervosa. What if it can sound even better, etc etc. If anything the CT5 is sounding quieter right now, not that it is ever particularly noisy. Its also just struck me that the HT input is currently not hooked up, maybe that adds a tiny bit of noise, but only noticable when you remove it, if you know what i mean.
