No perceivable differences (I did this during the "return period", both "transports" were volume matched, if there was a significant difference in volume levels (I do not remember)).
CA840 is supposed to have some "jitter correction" design. Info from their "marketing" FAQ (check the CA website :) ).
Oh well, it looks like the CA840 is simply insensitive to differences in transport jitter. I'm surprised that the built in CD drive didn't do better than the SPDIF input however.
Considering it has jitter correction and auto upsampling...I don't think it is a good unit for such a test.
