I think it is a great idea. The Lavry handles jitter by buffering and re-clocking the signal. The end result is that everything sounds the same through it -- inexpensive dvd/cd players, expensive cd players, a SB3, and the Transporter.
The Transporter seems to work easily well, although I haven't experimented with as many sources (I've had a Lavry DA10 since the day it came out; I have also had a Lavry Blue for ages). The main differences are: 1. I think that the Transporter is as good as, if not better than, the Lavry. Yes, I have a relationship with SD, so don't take my word for it -- read other posts. It's close, but the Transporter seems to have a wider soundstage and more "spooky accurate" imaging. I have not tried the Transporter with a "cheap" transport, but I have tried it as a DAC for my DVD player (see issues above) and my SB3. Each time, it sounded just the same as running the Transporter alone. The advantage, of course, is that you can use the same remote for everything. Trust me, I am immensely fond of the Lavry -- but the volume control on the thing is a pain. I don't quite understand the TP's jitter rejection scheme. However, it is obviously so good, and the analog output so good, that it doesn't matter. I definitely prefer the all-in-one-box solution...and I was prepared to prefer the two box solution and see the Transporter as a compromise. 325xi;151219 Wrote: > What are your impressons of plugging assumably inexpensive (DVD) source > to Transporter and Lavry?
