Well, I'm not "big", just rather tall and slim, but I doubt if size matters in technical facts. It should not matter, which code transforms flac to pcm,as long as it is correct. Nor should the protocol affect the resulting pcm stream. I don't hear any difference on my cubietruck if I output streams up to 24/96 to toslink/spdif or usb/asio. Coax spdif supports only streams up to 24/192 but no dsd neither does toslink/spdif. Conversion from dsd to pcm is doubtful, see these articles : http://www.audiostream.com/content/qa-thorsten-loesch-amrifi http://www.audiostream.com/content/qa-thorsten-loesch-amrifi-audiostream-addendum-pcm-vs-dsd I guess ( since I don't know which dac you are using) what you hear is a different implementation of spdif and USB in your dac or you simply have used a different dac for usb and spdif. The transporter is quite an old piece of hardware, it should rest in piece :-) Greets Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chrissy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47801 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103125 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
