Are all red book cd transports created equal?

If you have a decent DAC, the Cambridge transport (circa $350-400) is an excellent choice.  I use one, plus a Bryston BDA-2 in the secondary system.  
If  you want superb Redbook playback, the Bryston BCD-3 is a superb player spinner, although a bit pricey. 

I bought a roon nucleus last year and have a sub to tidal. my pre/dac can do the first fold and if I finally understand this a dac inside my dsp speakers does the 2nd fold. I managed to get much of my library loaded into the hdd but still have several  that are unavailable on tidal and my rega no longer can read. The jupiter was better than average in its day, but the last year or so it sounded to me like streaming sounded better, which when you consider all my digital goes thru the same dac makes me wonder if I can trust my ears and the reason I posed the question initially.

Honestly, If it sounds better to your ears, you don’t need anyone’s validation.

Enjoy the much improved and modern world of high quality digital streaming and bit perfect cd rips.

My reason for posting is that I have a decent quantity of discs I can’t get on tidal and since my reference transport kicked the bucket I wanted to know what you guys, in your own experience find using different transports. I’m not comparing streaming to playing discs, not directly anyhow.

When I transfer the cd's to the hard drive plugged into my streamer(nucleus)I think the most accurate burn will sound best. I'll leave the player on the rack but quit using it once the music is transferred.
