Hooked up my Transporter to my external Dac for the first time last night. Had a hifi buddy over to have a listen, an interesting night.
Short version, The Transporter was improved by hooking it up to my M2Tech Young Dac...substantially improved. We listen to the TP over its analogue outs using its internal Dac and we both really liked it, but thought it was MAYBE a little flat dynamically, but very very listenable. Hooked it up to the Young and the sound filled out, better timbre scale dynamics...just.better. Couple of proviso's though: * The Dac has its own linear power supply and has been heavily modded, so essentially its a 2K Dac. * Only digital cable I had to hand was a Spdif coax, which I understand might not be as good as a BNC hookup, so may sound even better, who knows. So my findings and conclusion on the Transporter Dac is that it's very, very good and betters a high end universal disc player, but it CAN be improved. Though you'd have to hook it up to a pretty special sounding Dac to.do ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gazjam's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18604 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102852 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
