Just wondering. I always thought the idea of using a computer drive would be ideal as it can be cheaply replaced. A bunch of things bother me about choosing a transport:
1. It often won't match the look of the DAC.
2. How does one know it is even an optimal transport for the particular DAC?
3. Has anyone ever changed transports or cables and noticed the difference in sound?
I guess once one gets a combination one likes, that the end of that particular road. Still, the variation bothers me.

- Yes different transports can sound different, IE: One can sound a lot worse - Elizabeth 11:41:20 06/09/14 (1)
