How important are transports?


I figure this is a pretty ignorant question, but I have never really discussed it with anybody. I have a birdland dac and was wondering how much real difference the quality of the transport makes? Will it have a real impact on sound quality? Thanks.

I've been reading about modders like Audioengineer(Steve) AKA Empirical audio that have tested some of there modded players before and after a clock upgrade.Their results show the jitter dropped dramaticlly coming out of the S/PDIF output.My guess is it shouldn't be difficult to get a dvd player to perform as well or better than some stand alone transports.
