maybe one good thing about the loudness wars is you don't

How strange. This does appear to be a real Denon product and is listed
on the Denon website.
It seems baffling to me given the Denon brand image. I am not in
marketing but I would expect a product like this to devalue the Denon
brand far more than it will ever earn despite a presumably enormous

I think everything is converted to basically single bit DSDish quasi
Delta-Sigma format by the AKM and just about any other non-R2R ladder
based DAC on the market these days. This seems to be the modern
approach. D/A conversion of such 1 bit non PCM streams has some
linearity advantages over

Sorry but I haven't figured out yet what sb3 means. Is it an
amplifier, Creative sound card?
I would be very interested to upgrade my pc to a very decent music

I have upgraded everything, except my source. If anyone could give me

The XLR output on the transporter is the common industry standard.
Unless there is something funky about the balanced input on your
pre-amp you shouldn't need anything special.
Edit: Oh, wait, the BC-21 you list in your sig doesn't have balanced.
You won't get anything fixed by using the XLR
sadly most preamps including mine aren't balanced.

Using an XLR to RCA cable is not going to address that at all.
Balanced all the way may, but RCA is unbalenced, and can lead to ground
loops.

this ethernet cable is space cake compared to what this guy sells, and
he apparently sells a lot!! Im surprised no one has put him inside
bars!!
Nice find. He
lots of people have cured ground loops with single ended xlr (and many
haven't either!). according to jensen transformers it may have to do
with the construction of the cable and they say a properly constructed
cable can have a pretty dramatic effect on hum (see fig. 2.1)
