Are you seriously questioning whether the Transporter sounds any better than the stock Squeezebox (2 or 3) ? Have you even heard a Transporter? (The same applies with the SB+ but I've not heard one so I can't say how it sounds). In another thread, you said: > I just hope we don't get to the point of censorship, like banning any > mention of DBT (audiocircle) or not allowing any report of an > improvement without having first done a careful DBT (hydrogenaudio). > That really does stifle discussion, to the point that the board > becomes pretty boring. I find your constant scepticism and bringing up of DBT does indeed stifle discussion and makes this board very boring. You don't *have* to perform DBT to be able to hear that there is a difference (or not) between two systems - your ears can do that for you, or at least mine can. I suggest you get some better ears, or train the ones you have better, and stop with the constant DBT stuff.
