Thanks! The real beauty of PC music server is its "shuffle" and "playlist" abilities, you cannot duplicate that with any disc changers, too clunky and slow to work, or if working, will greatly shorten its life due to mechanical complexity. The SB3 sound quality (either digital or analog outs) is plenty good for ANY receiver out there, provided that you do not duplicate needlessly the AD>DA circuits in those receivers if using SB3 analog outs, since signal conversion introduces distortion, why do it twice. The Transporter is clearly high-end and very expensive product requiring matching components downstream to realize its full potential, IMHO. SB3>MF A3.24DAC>2 Nakamichi PA7s>B&W N802>Nice!
