Mofuv, Are you running your digital front end through a preamp and if so what preamp? Have you tried running the Transporter direct to amp?
To compare transporter, Linn and Scarlatti dac with and without master clock I used an integrated amp (LUA Sinfonia). Thus I could do double blind testing. Now I am running the transporter's digital output to the upsampler, then to the dac and from there directly into the main amp (Accuphase). Volume control via dac. As I mentioned the differences using the transporter's internal clock as master with the Linn and the Scarlatti dac have only been very suttle, using the dac's or even a separate master word clock improved the whole sound incredibly. It was easy to tell the difference in a double blind setup. In such a setup jitter seems to be reduced distinctly and the upsampler and the external dac could work in an optimal setting receiving the digital data from the transporter in the same timing as they then internally process them. -- mofuv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mofuv's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13768 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41160 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
