Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: What's the Best CD/DVD player from the past to be used as CD transport?

Audiophiles will split hairs on how CD transports sound but as you have discovered for yourself, it is the DAC that made the BIGGEST improvement in your setup.

You might get a slight incremental bump in performance with a better transport but nothing like what you gained with the DAC, IMHO.

That being said, I don't think there's a "BEST" transport or "BEST" anything out there. I liked the Sony XA7-ES CDP transport but some cheap Pioneers are also excellent. Personally, I wouldn't blow a wad of cash on a transport or CD player these days. But that's just me I suppose.
