I tried A/B comparisons between a Naim CD5 and my Transporter a while back and found exactly the same thing - could not hear any difference. However after a period of extended listening over a few weeks I became sure that I just enjoyed the music more through the Transporter. Having discussed this on the Naim forum, most people agree that you need a period of time to mentally adjust to a new source, then see how it emotionally grabs you. I run a Transporter as my only source through a decent Naim pre/power and am very happy. It compares well with far more expensive sources such as the HDX. If you are happy with the SB3, then great, spend the money elsewhere, but a few hours of A/B switching is not enough to really put it through its paces.
