Huh? Missed #3 - that's the first hand experience I'd want to hear about!! Someone compared Squeezebox with an external DAC slaved to it versus Transporter with the same DAC slaved to it versus Transporter slaved to that same DAC? Can you point me to that post or review? Or is what you merely that #2 has been answered (= by me)? Agree wholeheartedly, all the theoretical discussion, however interesting (partially), doesn't answer what I'm interested in. Anyone please step in who's got first hand experience with the digital outputs/WC input of these products... (sigh!)
