I have a slightly modded SB3 with the Welbourne Power supply. I'm also thinking of the Transporter but with the Modwright "truth" mods. I've been on the fence trying to decide between an outboard DAC such as Audio Notes 2.1 kit or another high quality DAC. Not being able to audition such devices IN MY SYSTEM it makes shopping for such upgrades an exercise in reading user opinions and gleaning information from there. Our system sounds very good with the Nuforce 9SEV2's but I feel now the limiting factor is the native SB3 DAC (1748KE). The sound just has a certain hardness and grain going strightly through the SB3. So to take the Modwright Transporter route or outboard DAC is the question. Perhaps the Duett to outboard DAC is more favorable than the Modwright transporter? I plugged my old Audio Research LS15 into the mix thinking this would be magic. It sucked.. Where to go?
