Just my pref but I run my 1800 with the with the analog outs most of the time. I'm almost certain the 1800 and the 2700 use the same dac. BTW nice musical AVReceivers for us not quite ready for the audiophile crowd. I run mine into some B&W P5's and really like the sound. I'm not sure how our speakers compare but I'm really happy with the setup and don't believe, unless you just have money to burn, that a transporter would make enough of a difference to make it worthwhile.
