There are a number of reasons why a decent server is far better then a disc player , sound quality is one reason.

I added a Benchmark DAC 3b to a Sony XA 5400 ES and am very happy with the results. Audioquest cords for both.

The Audiolab does what a transport is supposed to do; with my Neko Audio D100 MKII DAC, it sings. Better than with the Chord 2Qute DAC I had previously. Read on the Neko site on why it sounds so rich and warm.
