transport sound changes in last 5 years


can someone describe the improvement in transport sound that has taken place in the last 5 years ? been out of stereo equipment for about 5 years. Was using enlightened audio T-7000 universal disk transport, was about to purchase a Wadia 20 before selling stereo.

Unfortunately, I have found significant differences in the sound of various cd players used as tranports and dedicated cd transports. You would think that "bits and bytes are bits and bytes" but it doesn't seem to work that way in the audio world.
Some of my experiences are detailed in previous posts.
Best value I have found is the Parasound CBT2000. I'm sure there are better sounding ones, but they will cost a lot more.
The CEC belt drive transports are also probably pretty good.
(The Parasound is a lower priced version of the CEC's).
