Transport for DAC


I have a Bel Canto DAC3 and I have been thinking about buying a CD transport for it. How important is the transport? How much does sound differ from transport to transport and do characteristics of the CD player carry over when using it as a transport? So if I want a smooth sound, would a classe or mcintosh sound different than a cheap DVD player? Thanks guys.

I have had a DAC3 for a couple weeks now and have run a 200.00 player and a 1500.00 player as transports. Can't tell any difference. That's why I am selling the expensive player. Cables might make a bit of a difference, but to be truthful I can't tell there either (using the SPDIF inputs--haven't used the toslink or any others on the DAC3 yet).
