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!

You have to know how to ask the right question. Follow? Besides this has been covered ad nauseam on many many threads. Let your fingers do the walking.

From the FYI Department: "Physics all the way down" is a common locution among.... wait for it.... philosophers of science.

Philosophers of science? Sha-zam! So, I you were in the English Department after all. I bet you guys can sure talk some stuff. Do you guys wear, like, robes and stuff?
Sir.... You obviously do not have a clue about.... well, much of anything....  that pertains to electronics, physics.... i.e. the stuff that pertains to this issue of "directionality."

Enough.... You truly are a charlatan.
Gosh, are all philosophers of science so adept at name calling? What is this, the revenge of the nerds?
