transport quality???

Do players that do SACD and DVD have more robust transports, and therefore better transports, than simple cd players?

The Esoteric and dCS transports are likely amongst the best at a cost. Esoteric seems to be one of the few that (used) to make SACD and DVD transports Also some drives just read the disc into memory..so the transport can be more of a computer grade... I guess the real question is what are you trying to accomplish? Better sound quality? If so...what's the rest of your digital front end?

Your Wilson speakers have been considered excellent and very dynamic. What were the reasons for going to the Rockports?
