Another thread hijacked by GK who, as always, veers any technical audio discussion in absurd directions. Others have made astute points about the question raised by the OP which I appreciate and can learn from. My best is advice is to pay him no mind.
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!
