In Reply to: Why do CD transports cost more than CD players? posted by Tra708 on March 9, 2017 at 05:42:36:
Mass market blue ray players are transports in the sense that they do not have analogue output.
My experience is below.
1. Some do not send de-emphasis flag to DAC. A Samsung model was so. A Sony and an LG model to the same hi-fi DAC resulted in proper de-emphasis.
2. Some are more inconvenient than others if you want "program" function for a music CD. (The absence of "program" function can be found in some current audiophile music CD transport, too.)
3. Often, low cost blu-ray players make more mechanical noise while playing a music CD than some dedicated music CD players.
