Here is a pressing questions for the boards: What are the differences between a traditional CD transport enclosed in darkness and some of the newer designs left open to the air so-to-speak? To elaborate, I read an article awhile back about how Burmester, the teutonic German manufacture, went to great lengths to seal their transports from light. Makes sense considering a laser is at work in there. However, there are numerous (of what I consider) reputable manufactures that use open transports, Shanling and 47 Labs are the only ones that come to mind at the moment but I've seen others. I'm guessing they aren't completely daft but must know something I don't. Does anyone have any input on this?
