Made a definite improvement even in my mid level system when I stepped up from a Cambridge Audio ACX 35 CD player ( as CD and as transport) to their CXC v2 transport. Can’t face spending hours and months ripping my CD collection to a server even if it’s a better way to go.
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?
