I think you have to look at how the bits are delivered. My personal experience with the Transporter is that it gets the bits from the server (laptop) as well as can be done with today's technology. Thats my opinion from what I can glean from the discussions to date.
Much debate on the USB, SPDIF, I2S methods. I2S should be the best only over short distances. I don't know - I have my Transporter wired over ethernet to my PC and I'm not "upgrading" anytime soon. Fricking awesome, IMHO. DAC's are another issue. Constantly changing. I would probably go SPDIF out of my Transporter in the future if I felt that the new DACs are better. They will be, thats the progress of digital! -- earwaxer9 System: modified Winsome Labs Mouse, modified Maggie MMG's, Transporter, HSU sub 12, MSB DAC to 500 watt sub slave amp, JPS labs power cords, Silver audio interconnect, Audioquest Granite speaker cable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ earwaxer9's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39527 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82155 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
