Differences between cd transports?


Howdy,I borrowed a dedicated CD transport (Musical Fidelity) from a friend. I have found that music sounds much better with his transport than with the CD player I’ve been using to spin CDs. In both cases, I am using exactly the same DAC via the optical out connection from the transport and the CD player. So: is there any rational reason that, using the same digital to analog converter, one CD spinner should sound much better than another?Thanks!

CEC still manufacturing belt-drive transports and they are very good almost bought one last year but eventually bought the Simudio Moon 260D transport( without the inner dac version) a substantial step up then my perviously CD transport Cambridge Audio CXC.
George,

I don’t know from where you took this information... Simudio has its own Proprietary CD drive system mounted on gel-based 4-point floating suspension for vibration damping .comparing to the Cambridge CXC the 260T offers much more details , organic and natural sound.
Yes I agree pure CD transport and a good DAC
extract more information off he CD since I upgraded my transport to Sim 260T and McIntosh DAC I don't miss my vinyl collection anymore and I don't hear any difference between CD's to hi-res music files.
