I'm Lawrence.
When I've compared various Cd players as transports I've always been surprised how much of the relative character of the cd players come through when used as transports, when I expected most of the character to be the result of the dac and output stage employed. I put much of this down to isolation, damping and feet etc, as sticking sorbothane underneath did reduce the differences quite a bit. So my take was to experiment with isolation with what I've got before splashing out on a new one.

Bits is bits. Buy the best dac you can and ignore the transport side of things.
