Well, first, if you're using a low quality source like an MP3 then don't even think about an expensive piece of kit like a Transporter!
So, consider instead playing back a lossless format such as FLAC - what difference can the player make? Enormous!! The biggest difference will be in the quality of the DAC which converts the bits to an analog signal. Even if you use the device as a pure digital transport sending the bits on to the same downstream DAC, you'll still get differences (which you may or may not be able to detect depending on your ears and the rest of your kit) due to digital imperfections like jitter. If this were not the case, all CD players would sound the same, which they most obviously do not...
