I forgot to mention also that what sounds good to you might in fact be a bunch of added distortion or noise, a non-linear frequency response, or simply a couple more dB of amplitude. All easy to do by hacking the analog stage, intentionally or not. Heck, most people like the sound of compression!
However, I personally believe that the purpose of a source component should be to reproduce the recorded signal as accurately as possible, with no added effects or "color". Such processing, if you want it, should be the job of EQs, DSP processors, or if you like, tube amps. Stuff that's intended to color the sound. So I guess what I'm saying is that if your modded transporter really does sound better to you, I wuld invite you to loan it to me so I can test it and tell you exactly what it's doing to the audio that you find pleasing. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts it's a higher noise floor, some distortion, and a bunch of other stuff I spent months minimizing when I designed the product. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36626 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
