I’m an analog guy in a digital world... but I decided to finally install a digital front end in my main system. I used an Oppo BDP 95 as an interim step, with a Border Patrol DAC. I bought the entry level CEC transport and it sounds better than the Oppo. (The Oppo is a great value for what it is an all in one universal player). So, without having both feet firmly planted in the digital world, I can say as a casual entrant into the field of digital playback, the transport does make a difference.
