TRANSPORTER???

Do you mean Teleporter? 😳

A transport is a disc reader only and must be used with a separate DAC to produce sound, kind of like a turntable for cd's & SACD's.

So I have to ask this question then, “What is the difference in a CD player and a Transport?”. Dill, “kind of like a turntable for cd’s &SACD’s.”, confuses me more. Thanks for helping me out of audio ignorance by replying.

Think of a transport as a CD player without an analog output.  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.

So I am assuming the transport is the better between it and the CD player, otherwise we would just be using the CD player? Which digital connector is the better quality?
