We have a winner!
I had a Teac P500 transport which sounded very good into my then dac, I decided to have a better master clock fitted to the Teac the result was an easily heard improvement.
Hi Radamel. What was involved in the upgrade? Who did it? Cost?
I've swapped many transports through various DACs and have never heard a difference, in fact, i've rarely heard a difference between DACs to be honest. I guess i'm deaf?
That's my definition too, transports can be of the computer, streamer or CD variety.Doesn't a sonos qualify as a transport? It's not a cd transport but still a transport, no?

You had two transports one modified and one standard and compared the two?

Except the OP was about CD transports.
A transport is something that moves physical media for the purpose or reading or writing digital data. Can be tape, CD, SACD, DVD, + others.
A computer is not a transport unless you are talking about one with an internal CD/DVD drive, which may be relevant as I purchased a refurbished IBM Thinkpad for £140 to rip CDs with dBpoweramp, and it works a treat.
How much electrical noise you get from digital sources is another matter, as is how easy it is to clean it up, reclock it, or even hear the noise. That's nothing to do with transports.
.... get Roon, it's brilliant, and Qobuz tell me they are working on integrating it next year. I presume that's why you switched to Tidal.
