It's hard to find a DAC that sounds better than a Transporter. I have
tried, as I wanted to switch to a USB setup. After unsuccessfully trying
a few different DAC's I became the proud owner of a RME ADI-2 FS, but it
didn't sound nearly as good (level matched) so I reluctantly sold it.
After that
You can guy brand new ones on ebay from hotdogtec.

The Transporter is a steal at this price. Sound quality wise there is no
better streamer (even USB DAC) under the $2000 mark.

I had a feeling it was the PSU because the Transporter has the same
symptom when the PSU fails. The display goes out but it still works. A
week later the unit stops working entirely.

Your PC is a dinosaur. Except for increasing RAM, there isn't much you
