Here's the thing: I personally know two Transporter users (both friends and not on this forum) who have intractable drop-out problems. I have had drop-out problems and have tried everything in the book to fix them -- and nothing has worked. Therefore, I am commited to a wired solution.
So, my initial question was, would running a USB->S/PDIF converter to a DAC from an iMac work? The question of sound care issues arose. Then, I answered my own question: the iMac has an optical S/PDIF output. Presto. So, my plan is twofold: 1. I keep my Squeezebox. I go ethernet to Squeezebox (about a foot) to DAC via coax. This gives me a quick and easy interface. 2. Because the computer is already there, I can take advantage of iTunes on occassion and run optical to DAC (it has both inputs) to amp. That's the size of it, really. I am disappointed in the wireless thing. Mind you, these drop-outs are border-line rare. However, they are annoying when they happen.
