I bought a Transporter (to replace an SB2) primarily for its connectivity capabilities (ie. to use as a digital preamp) and the fact that it has balanced outputs. I expected it to sound a bit better than the SB2 analogue output, but wasn't prepared for the enormous improvement it actually delivered. The sound from the Transporter has a huge sense of solidity, and the timbres are much more "organic" than the SB2. So I'm definitely a happy bunny.
That said, if the "digital preamp" aspects aren't relevant to you and you're just interested in improving sound quality, adding a top flght DAC to your SB2 might be a cheaper way of achieving the same result. Obvious candidates would be the ones regularly mentioned on these forums: Benchmark, Lavry, Bel Canto, etc. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38501 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
