All a CD transport needs to do is send binary data to an external DAC at 1411kbps. Laser, optics and something to spin the CD. This stuff is over 40 years old now and should cost no more than £100 so what do people think is actually being improved when they buy a really expensive CD transport?
Ah Pod I was waiting for someone else to answer your thread, sit back and knock back the popcorn 🍿 😂
My string was pulled.
It's synonymous to tennis string racket.
All rackets do the same thing, they hit the ball. I know there's a pun with the word racket but better I stay on my baseline. 😊
To most users, there's absolutely no difference between the ASDA racket and the Wilson racket that was purchased from the Sports shop.
The serious player would notice the difference, the firmness of the handle, the quality of tension, small supple difference that can make or break a game.
The parallel here, one can expect better tracking laser mechanism, more stability when the disk is spinning, all this is residual improvements, possibly not worth paying the extra outlay but what would sway me, is the flexibility, not tied to the CD player, I can use it with different DACs.
The more capable machines allow you to use different audio formats.
I love extra boxes with flashing LEDs, I know the child in me has never left.
