DAC and CD Transport Question

This has always confused me...

If you have a good outboard DAC does the CD Player matter?

If I buy lets say a Benchmark DAC1, will the sound be different if I use and old NAD cd player compared to buying a Rega Apollo, or an even more expensive player for that matter?

Sorry the beginner question, thanks in advance!

You can find a lot of info in the archives about this. My advice is save your money. Buy a Mac Mini or something similar and use its HD as the transport. Find a USB DAC and forget about digital cables. You'll be much happier without the hassles. I wish I'd done it sooner!
