If it's a decent DAC it will sound the same. This topic has been beaten to death. It does not matter what DAC you substitute as long as it's a decent one that cleans up its input. The Transporter has a cleaner (lower jitter) output, but if you're looking at a DAC better than what the Transporter privides then it will likely cleanup it's inputs as well. The display may be a toy to you but it is not to everyone. Some of us do care about how it looks in the system as well as how it sounds and the information the display can provide. The SB3 looked dorky and cheap and in a $30K system it looked out of place. But the SB3 sounds fine as a digital transport. -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP 6000, 5500HC, 33 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP 5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP 5000 'My Transporter Setup' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=350741&postcount=45) 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54947 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
