I've had a Transporter since 2006 and have always used the Coax digital out feeding either my Denon (originally) and now Yamaha receiver. I had a very large DVD-Audio and SACD collection 10+ years ago and was able to rip the audio from them and re-encode as 96k DTS files, converted to FLAC. The only way I can get the DTS bitstream to the Yamaha is via digital out, obviously. I do have have analogue outs of the Transporter feeding the Yamaha, as well, but most of the time just stick with using the Yamaha DAC. It works for me, and I realize most users aren't going to have a 5.1 setup, but I've been in the recording biz since 1971 and have lots of my own 5.1 mixes I've done over the years. Anyway, too much information. Enjoy the Transporter!!
