Transports

I need some help making a decision. My main source of music enjoyment is primarily Cd’s. I play both red book and sacd, but by far many more redbook. I have the EMM Labs Dac2x v2 and using my former player as a transport. Thinking about purchasing a EMM labs TSDX transport to spin my disc. Has anyone been able to compare the sound quality of using the EMM dac both through the EMM transport and through a non-EMM transport. Please tell me what the benefits of all EMM vs EMM dac with decent non-EMM transport. Thanks.

Everyone is talking <,DAC's>> 
I'm old school, sticking to a combo player.
Trans/DAC in one unit.
The 2 units folks might wish to consider before  adding a  DAC is the Cayin 17 Mark2 and the Shanling 3.2 cd player.
Both built like tanks with surperior crafmanship.

 bog standard CDP

^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Agree a  basic cd player are dated and a  temporary fix until cash is avaliable for a  superior cd player can be added.
The only 2 cd players I consider equal/superior  to a  good DAC,  are the two  mentioned above.
Just because  DAC;s are the latest craze, doesn't mean to over look new high tech cd players.
