How does a Transport effect sound?

hi guys,

Been wondering about this: How does a CD Transport effect sound? Isn't it just reading the disc and sending the 1s and 0s to the DAC. Shouldn't every transport sound the same?

Thanks!

I would not want to listen to my digital playback without one now. Also, Steve’s digital cables are quite over looked. I have compared them to many and few that were much more expensive (Purist Audio Neptune) and his BNC BNC Digital cable was the clear winner. Excellent cable for the money.

The SM improves quite a bit. Simaudio 260d and Lyngdorf 2170. It may not be as good as a Esoteric or PS Audio $$$$$, but I find it hard to believe that what I have is not "good"
