I tried the V-DAC before I bought the transporter. Of course it the bottom of the barrel for Musical Fidelity. Could not STAND it. Returned it to Audio Adviser. I hate to return stuff. I almost never do it. It means I f**ked up! Like I didnt do my homework. Of course I'm happy with the Transporter. Definably not the weak link in my chain. Not sure if I have a weak link at this stage. I'm diggin it. Cap and upconverter changes are proving to yield good results. At some point, of course, there will be a hardware change that will be worth the price and effort. What a long strange trip it has been! Switched to the latest Sox SRC to upsample to 24/96. Better than SSRC. Smoother. Less digital. Another workout for my laptop! -- 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=84903 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
