Fellow Audiophiles and Transporter owners, Being a happy Transporter owner for many years, I have recently upgraded my system with a pair of Sonus Faber Liuto Towers and a recently upgraded power amp as well (the much more confidential Doxa 72), driven directly by the Transporter. This setup is wonderfully transparent and pleasant-sounding, yet I feel there might be some more to gain from the source. Given the pace of improvements to digital music and the age of the Transporter, I think that adding a DAC might be the obvious upgrade now. That leaves me with two questions :
1) How good is the Transporter DAC ? I know it was awesome when it came out, but what would be an equivalent DAC today ? Something like the Rega DAC or the Cambridge Audio DacMagic+ ? 2) Which DAC would be the best upgrade today ? How much do I need to spend to get a significant rise in audio quality and which DAC would be the best contender ? Would DACs like Wadia 121 or NAD M51 be real upgrades ? Many thanks for your contribution ! k ------------------------------------------------------------------------ karlhungus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96457 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
