CD Transports


Since CD transports just spin the discs, would I be justified in spending a lot of money on one, or buy a reasonably priced one (both units being well respected), and put the extra money into a more expensive DAC?

If the DAC has good jitter rejection the transport doesn't matter too much as long as it is bit perfect.

If the DAC is affected by the jitter in the SPDIF stream then a more expensive transport might give you some SQ benefit (only if more expensive equals lower jitter on the digital outputs).
