I would say, either save and wait for the Transporter, or find an external DAC. It sounds like the Transporter has been very well put together, but I'm not sure if you could get to audition it, or if it fits your budget. A DAC however, you could audition, although I found it took a couple of days at home to make a proper judgement. Depending on which DAC you get, there may be little benefit to improving the digital source.
After some experimentation, and hunting around, I added a Cyrus DAC-X to my setup, justifying the cost, as I can also run tv and dvd sound through it. With that, differences in digital source are almost indestinguishable. Stock my SB would not better my £270 NAD cd player. I upgraded my SB PSU, but it made little difference. Using one of these seems worth the money though: (US) www.bluejeanscable.com/store/digital-audio/index.htm (UK) www.bluejeanscable.co.uk/store/digital-audio/index.htm I don't have any experience of any other mods. -- bludragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bludragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1530 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26548 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
