Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback?

So I’m contemplating getting a new transport. I own an Oppo BDP-83SE player and a CAL Delta transport. I still use my transport and player for Redbook playback.

Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback?

RedBook CDs only. No SACD. Superb DAC and OEM transport. No jitter. http://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/review/digital-reviews/cd-player-reviews/bryston-bcd-3-cd-player/ Just a thought

The BCD-3 has only 1 master clock that controls both the transport and DAC rather than the DAC slaving to the usually inferior transport clock.
