Slightly off topic but in my opinion people that says a good transport is a wast of money and will not sound better obviously have not heard a difference.
1) They have equipment not capable of producing quality music.
2) They never bothered doing a caparison and simply state their opinion.
3) Don't know how to evaluate and listen to music or are legitimately tone deaf.
I know many individuals with a trained ear and quality equipment that can hear the difference.
