Beppe, this is effectively the same as asking the question " Is the transport important?" or " Which is more important, transport or DAC?".If you search the archives on this forum you will find dozens, maybe hundreds, of postings.
I am confident that you will find the overwhelming consensus to be that there is a lot more to the answer than just the accuracy of the clock controlling the DAC. Possible reasons are proffered in some of the postings.
In some cases the use of a computer as a source rather than a CD transport initially seemed to offer some kind of solution at the "cheap" end of the market. However a short visit to PC Audio in AA indicates that the folks there apparently have discovered all sorts of issues when doing this and there are many, many, postings on the need to optimise the computer before the question of a suitable DAC is considered.
