With transports, the only thing that matters is jitter. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. This is the physics. No transport can match the jitter of a good outboard re-clocker, so if you add this to the transport, the transport is not important anymore. Does not matter what the transport is and what type of drive is inside. Similarly with a server that outputs S/PDIF coax. Jitter is still the main concern and an outboard re-clocker fixes that.

You are absolutely right that jitter and eliminating/minimizing it is of utmost important and that one way to do that is an outboard word re-clocking
unit and also use of a master clock. The rest of what you assert I cannot ever agree with but that does not make you wrong and me right, it's just
an opinion.

Yes. Don't let anyone who doesn't own highend Esoteric transport convince you. They have no idea what true beauty of Esoteric transport is like.

+1 there are other high-end transports that similarly good things may be said about as well.
