Well just about the only people who have heard Transporters are those that pre-ordered them and now have them, but the difference is obvious: the Transporter sounds better. How much better depends on your system (and your ears, I guess). There are some reviews just starting to appear, including on this forum. You can also consider upgrading your SB3: a linear power supply, internal mods, maybe an external DAC. But my policy is simple: only upgrade when you feel it's really necessary. Does your SB3 sound bad to you? It may well be that your amp and/or speakers are the weak link (not to mention cables, mains, room, dog etc), so there would be no difference between SB3 and Transporter. Tell us more about how your system is lacking and we may be able to help more :) Adam -- adamslim SB3 and Shanling CDT-100, Rotel RT-990BX, Esoteric Audio Research 859, Living Voice Auditorium IIs, Nordost cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28694 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
