I have owned or tested the Lyngdorf TDAI-2200, DPA-1, and RP-1 -- and I have done so with a Transporter (TP) as source. 1. I seem to recall that the Lyng gear uses 24/96 throughout (incl the ADC's). If this is important to you, check it out. 2. Their DAC technology is OK, but not as good as $1K-$2K standalone DAC's available today (e.g., Lavry, Oritek, Bryston, etc.). 3. I rec you use one of the digital outputs of the TP. AES/BU if possible, but the others are OK for this application as well. Going through the TP DAC, then ADC, then Lyng processing and DAC is a sonic disaster IMO. 4. Hmmm. I hadn't tried that. I think another poster mentioned using the processor loop of the TP, a similar approach. The main drawback of either approach is the insertion of another transmitter/cable/receiver chain in the signal path. Not perfect, but not a disaster either.
