Differences between cd transports?

@tweak1 I also have a 105 and use XLR's out to my Hegel H360 integrated.  Wondering if coax out (with Black Cat Silverstar MkII coax cable) might be a better option for red book CD's.  Should I give it a try?  Was thinking about Wireworld, but even their Starlight 7 Gold is $500 for 1.5m.  I've heard on these threads that for digital coax, a length of 1.5 minimum is best for digital coax.

unless your Hegel have a built in dac how would you use it

The Hegel has a built in DAC, and apparently it's really good (I've never used it!!)

@geoffkait Since not a single high end wire company I know has an electron microscope and since you freely admit they don't make their own wire, how would they know the directionality of the cable? Cable is spooled and respooled so many times before it arrives there. Each time this happens, the direction get reversed. I spent my Friday evening playing with cables. I tested Cardas, Kimber, Canare with a $1K Fluke AC ohm meter good to more zeros than would make any difference to a human ear. Zero difference in either direction. None. As in zero difference. Always shows same numbers, down to .5 digits.

Let me guess, the ancient cables weren't burnt in enough. 

Only way to figure out which way the cable was pulled via the dies would be an electron microscope. At one point in my life, I had an Elionix sitting in my basement, but I highly doubt a single cable company would be willing to compromise their marketing department by throwing a cool half a million just to figure out which way the spool was run.

Possible mental health alert: Geoffkait (or Kaitty) has utterly lost his ability to recognize a satirical post, or his reading comprehension doesn’t work if he fails to re-post a comment he’s responding to. I’ll re-post this part for his sake:
"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?"

Kaitty...please...turn up your oxygen...something...I’ll try another rhetorical question: Does Dennis Had, who made my hand wired power amp, know which direction the allegedly directional internal wires are pointed? Wait...that’s not a rhetorical question, it’s a question I know the answer to. The answer is no. However, the amp sounds great anyway...mysteries abound...
