Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

the transport is mostly harmless

All it has to do is provide the exact bits from the
medium at the exact time onto the digital wire. Any
el cheapo DVD player can do that.

The problem is, will your DAC be able to read the
signals with a clock running at the same speed? Or
will it run into problems because of clock difference
between your transport and the DAC? That's were jitter
comes in.

If you instead take an expensive transport with
synchronized builtin DAC, then you have no Jitter and
only have to deal with the quality of the analog output.

Only, apparently those external DACs are generally
superior, and the effective existence of a Jitter
problem remains questionable.
