Differences between cd transports?


Howdy,I borrowed a dedicated CD transport (Musical Fidelity) from a friend. I have found that music sounds much better with his transport than with the CD player I’ve been using to spin CDs. In both cases, I am using exactly the same DAC via the optical out connection from the transport and the CD player. So: is there any rational reason that, using the same digital to analog converter, one CD spinner should sound much better than another?Thanks!

"And if all of those little wires and board traces are directional, isn’t the sum of all of it working together resulting in directionality chaos? And if it is, why can things still sound fine?"

>>>>>See, that’s what makes it this all so funny. What you perceive as satire or irony is actually reality. I’m pretty sure we covered board traces and why they aren’t directional in the last class. Your “satirical post” is true, all wires are directional, so ultimately everything should be controlled for directionality. See the irony? 

”And if it is, why can things still sound fine?"

>>>>>>Everything sounds fine to you so what’s the difference? 😳
the pseudo-scientist doesn't even know what a multi-meter is, and by extension, how to check for least resistance, but somehow he KNOWS no cable company has  an electron microscope: all one needs is access to people who do. HMMMMMMMM.

Go back to sleep folks, NOTHING to see here/hear

geoff, you should know by now what happens when you try to teach a pig to sing
Again, Kaitty dodges the point with pithy nonsense...simple fact: No component manufacturer checks the wires and traces for directionality...none. The echo is simply Kaitty tossing his personal insecurities and arrogance against the wall.
