If you connect to the CD player's DAC it may well sound worse, because of the way clocks are handled. There is no need for a one box CD to have an effective anti-jitter circuit (e.g. double PLL) because when it operates as a one box device the DAC runs off of the local clock and the transport is slaved to it. When an external source feeds this DAC then the DAC has to be slaved to the external source. The worse sound is the result of the poor system architecture devised by Sony and Philips (SPDIF).
If you want to compare transports (including computer transports) you should compare two box configurations so as to avoid "apples to oranges" comparisons.

Well, I didn't hear any difference in my system and now I have replaced my DVD player, CD transport, DAC, and computer music server with an Oppo BDP-105D, which consolidates all those functions into a single component.

This is a false statement. I am not going to explain why since he has consistently taken this mistaken line over many posts and debates.
"I am not going to explain why"
This remark reads like pure bluster. I doubt you have the ability to explain why.

You take the cheapest implementations of spdif and complain about the defacto standard setter. The same can be said of any digital or analog interface. Cost and proper design and impedance matching dictate the resulting SQ, not the method.
I hope Sony/Philips pursue you for your many unqualified pronouncements.
Done right, spdif is fine and your constant posts about theoretical clocking is not a sound basis for SQ judgements.
