When using a DAC does the cd player really matter?


Is there a difference between a relatively inexpensive cd player versus one that costs much more. All you are doing is feeding a digital signal that will be transformed by the outboard DAC, right? Or am i missing something?

why is a "file-based transport" system better? Don't you have to use a transport - or worse, a computer cd drive - to read the digital data into the files, wso the file then contains all the same errors? In other words, the file is no better than the transport/cd drive you used in the first place?
