Transport for DAC

I have a Bel Canto DAC3 and I have been thinking about buying a CD transport for it. How important is the transport? How much does sound differ from transport to transport and do characteristics of the CD player carry over when using it as a transport? So if I want a smooth sound, would a classe or mcintosh sound different than a cheap DVD player? Thanks guys.

Digital newbie here. I have been listening to CD's since they came out.I have found that they are no where near as musical as LPs.Then I got my first DAC. I just got a Audio Alchemy 1.1 DDE and a AA DTL 1.0. This has transported my CD's into another world altogether. Listening is fun again. Now to add to the string: I am using a cheap Sony NS601HP.This has a TOSlink digital out interface to connect to the jitter box/DAC.(It also upgrades std. DVDs to 1080P,which is nice).
It cost about $60.00 at Costco. This setup rocks! My Accoustat 2s now have wide and deep,transparent soundstage with a much sweeter bass and treble than I have ever owned.
Makes me wonder if I really do need that VPI I am bidding on.............

sure I do.
