CD transports; do they really matter


In my pursuit of total sonic harmony, I have been investigating whether a CD transport ( to replace my bulky and aged Luxman CD player ) would be a good option.  I had an interesting conversation with the manufacturers rep of a respected brand regarding his companies CD transport.  He basically said its all in the DAC, the transport, as long as its not a cheap component, does not make much or any difference. So, I ask does it really matter?

@charles1dad ...I didn't bother to check first but I'm pretty sure the Jay's transport does not use the Pro CD-2. CD-4 sticks in my mind.

@charles1dad ...again, I have not checked but it seems to me the CD3 was a player in toto and not just a transport.

@charles1dad ...yeah, I saw the pix after my earlier post. It seems I haven't really kept fully up to date with the changing Jay's lineup in the last couple years. Sorry for the confusion.
