If you connect to the CD player's DAC it may well sound worse, because of the way clocks are handled. There is no need for a one box CD to have an effective anti-jitter circuit (e.g. double PLL) because when it operates as a one box device the DAC runs off of the local clock and the transport is slaved to it. When an external source feeds this DAC then the DAC has to be slaved to the external source. The worse sound is the result of the poor system architecture devised by Sony and Philips (SPDIF).
If you want to compare transports (including computer transports) you should compare two box configurations so as to avoid "apples to oranges" comparisons.
