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 are too modest, Elizabeth....
But, at the same time, a tad too indulgent of Mr Kait, who never manages to say anything worth hearing.
He just will not answer straightforward questions about what in the real physical world could explain his pet phenomena.
Belated confession: I do feel guilty for having contributed to the unfortunate highjacking of the OP onto an entirely irrelevant tangent.
