Theres many threads on the Audiophile forums which testify to the Transporter being a "better" transport...at least on paper - but not by anything other than a small margin, but the conscensus (to my reading) is that it is NOT worth the extra cost.
Some folk on these forums (John Swenson I think it was?)even prefer the Touch as a Transport. Yup. And regarding your Caiman (I own one and love it),over on the ArtOfSound forum (I've seen you there ;)) one of the guys runs his Transporter INTO his Caiman as he likes the improvement over the Transporter the Caiman brings. My $0.02 worth.. DEFO change from a Duet, you'll never get the best from your Flacs using that. My opinion? Buy a Touch - the SPDIF out has been measured (and listened to) as being EXTREMELY good and very very close to the Transporter. Then mod the hell out of your Caiman (see AOS), and enjoy the music NOT the system.
