In terms of performance , the transporter does not outperform a SACD recording with the same normal 16/44 file. In fact , in my opionin , the transporter does not outperform some CDP's playing a CD. In the digital domain , there seems to be no difference between a Transporter and a Dedicated transports output or your SB3 , but in the Analog domain , I and some others have found the Transporters Dac to be less than ideal for our tastes. I feel it is over analytical and lacks in low bass....but yours and other's mileage may vary in this regard
I would rather stick with your SB3 and audition a few DAC's. I dont beleive you should make the $2k jump just for the transporters DAC and strongly reccomend you audition one before taking the chance. -- Rodney_Gold Sb3/Z-sys RDP1/meridian DSP5500's TP/X-cans v3/Senns 650's TP/TACT 2.0/SCM 50a's TP/Meridian DSP5000's "The nicest thing about smacking your head against the wall is...the feeling you get when you stop" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rodney_Gold's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14618 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48748 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
