Are all red book cd transports created equal?

“This will only be close to bit perfect if he uses a good CD transport, other wise there’ll be errors and jitter transferred to the HD.
Then there’s write and read back errors from the HD, probably powered by an smp, so noise to add to that also.
I’ve yet to hear a streamer/hd sound as good as a proper CD transport playing the same CD“

I see no point in engaging folks who speaks from ignorance. You have been peddling your BS 80’s views over and over. Open your mind my friend and go listen to a decent streaming setup at your friend’s place or a dealer.

Contradictions/oxymoron , so why engage me, seems you you don’t know which way is up🤦‍♂️

Don’t have to, they bring there streaming stuff here and put it in my system, and then are shocked when the same is played on my CD transport. So go peddle yourself🤦‍♂️

I am a fuse adopter with a digital front end. My system has combination of SR Black’s and HiFi Tuning Supreme Au/Ag and Cu Fuses.

And real rich coming from a fuser

Interesting how a simple question can lead to controversy!
@steve59 in answer to your question: get yourself a reasonably good player, preferably used, and use the transport function, teac have good transports btw— or do as suggested above, buy a reasonably priced transport.
Later on you'll will probably migrate to a music library & streaming, but for now, enjoy your music.

Look who started it, a fuser 🤷‍♂️
