How does a Transport effect sound?

hi guys,

Been wondering about this: How does a CD Transport effect sound? Isn't it just reading the disc and sending the 1s and 0s to the DAC. Shouldn't every transport sound the same?

Thanks!

OP, substitute the word "re-clocks" in place of "rejects" and shadorne's statement is entirely true.

No, but if you send these, I will be glad to make measurements and post it. Here are the ones I had on-hand and compared: http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=154425.0 Steve N. Empirical Audio
