What is the benefit of a good transport?


I'm trying to understand the role of the transport - i.e., what does it need to do and what differentiates one from another? How old is too old when it comes to used transports? I know it reads the disc, but I don't really get how one is different than another. Thanks for any advice.

I don't know exactly why transports sound different, but they do! Alright, alright, it's about 0's and 1's but... I think it's about jitter, don't you think? So in theory the transport with the less jitter is the superior one, I suppose... Have you heard a good sounding jitter troubled transport? In that case, just forget my preassumptions, I'm not a digital guru.
