CD Player versu Dedicated Transport

I am currently using an ARC CD3MKII as a transport feeding an Audio Logic DAC. Is there any downside (besides expense) to using a CD Player as a transport compared with a dedicated transport? Does all that extra electronics have a downside? (It is comforting to know that if something goes wrong with my DAC I would still be able to listen to music.)

Matching each component is the key to good system sound. There are probably stand alone transports that are better then some all in one CDPs used as a transport and visa versa. That said, it is my opinion that the digital cable is more important then the transport you use within reason.

Happy Listening.
