Simaudio 260D - As transport


Since I have digital Mcintosh digital pre with an excellent internal DAC I am considering to upgrade my Cambridge Audio CXC with Simudio 260D transport without the optional DAC .
Can you advise how is the 260D as a transport ? Will I notice a substantial improvement compare to my CXC ?
The 260D transport without the optional DAC won’t have the digital in connections only the out ones ?
The CXC had no issues with hybrid CDs
Is it the same with the 260D or it can read only red book format?

I have a Simaudio 260D Neo driving a Bricasti DAC- quite pleased with the Simaudio as a transport. I have never tried the CXC so I cannot comment whether it's actually any better than the CXC.
