I've owned all three at the same time although my Transporter was not standard. If you're looking for the best performance for the money and live in the UK then the SB+ takes some beating, providing you don't need any digital inputs (the SB+ doesn't have any). If you need digital inputs then your choices are the SB3 with an external DAC or a Transporter. Again, if you live in the UK, an SB3 with an Audio Synthesis DAX Decade or DAX Discrete (preferably with Black Gate mods) and good quality cables and power conditioning will do the trick but will cost a good deal more than an SB+. Alternatively, you could go down the Transporter route which is what I chose to do. My modified Transporter outperformed my Wadia 861se with the Great Northern Sound Company 'Statement' upgrade, no mean feat as prior to that the only thing that did that was another 861se modified by the UK company Coherent Systems and a Teac X-01, again modified my the UK company Coherent Systems.
