I was thinking the theta was a dac only.
But I think you should try the TP dac and run its analog using the
theta as a line level preamp.
You can also run the TP straight to the amp, but use the attenuation
inside the TP that works through the RCA outs.

Yes, I shall.
My first step will be to download and install Slim Server because I
need to have that running smoothly before the hardware can work.

Generally. moving audio reproduction circuits away from any possible
interference is a first move to improving sound quality.
The humble act of moving power cables away from source or speaker
cables in a stereo setup, for example, can in some cases make an
audible difference. In the case of a PC,
As far as I'm aware AC'97 requires that all signals are mixed to 16-bit
48KHz? In windows it's possible to bypass kmixer which does this nasty
stuff but it maybe that your onboard sound does this as well...i.e. all
Creative cards do this in hardware.
Unless you're doing things like bypassing

Would the SB3, or the Transporter, be a sonic improvement over my

on a Theta Casablanca 3 with Extreme DACs.
Any advice will be gratefully received. Thanks!

I Agree, it is all subjective - in the ears of the beholder, so to

IMHO.
I agree with you there. Takes some very high quality

If you are using windows, it is a big possibility that you aren't
getting the best sound possible. Windows does some processing to the
files before they go the the DAC.
In your case, I would recommend the SB3, and that you convert your
music files to FLAC or Apple

That way you can compare both. If you don't think the TP is better,
sell it for 1,700
and break even. There are plenty of people who have SB's that would
love to get a TP for 1,700.
Well, it seems clear from the postings that
