Dill, “kind of like a turntable for cd’s &SACD’s.”, confuses me more. Thanks for helping me out of audio ignorance by replying.

A transport will only output a digital signal, for which you will need a digital to analog converter (DAC) in order to get your music. A CD player with a digital output can serve as a transport, if you just use it to send a digital signal to a DAC.
