opaqueice, The point of my post was that the SB3 is not high end. Those with high end rigs should demand more, and the Transporter and SB+ are available for audition. I will do that when I'm ready in the context of a wider upgrade. As I said, my reasoning is that I can hear the difference between the SB3 and my CD transport/DAC. Phil noticed just such a difference between his SB3 and CDP: PhilNYC;203104 Wrote: > Just to be clear, when we compared the SB3 analog out to the Dodson, I > was able to identify the Dodson every time within the first few seconds > of listening. And many others questioned his findings on SB3 vs Transporter, including himself: PhilNYC;203104 Wrote: > > I do have some additional theories as to why this particular listening > test came out with the results it did, but I'm not going to get into > them because they are just theories and I don't want to come off as > trying to make excuses.

I wonder what Sean's opinion is on SB3 vs Transporter.
