Thanks for this reply, especially coming from someone as esteemed as yourself. I just retired early from a intensive job (sucked up many hours per day) and have lots of stuff I want to try now that I have the time. Simplifying my system is a key part of my initial endeavours and yes I wlll obviously use my ears to benchmark an external DAC verses transporter + sox verses transporter alone, but its good to understand I wont be pissing away time on a dead end.
