First thing I said when saw Transportes was: Kudos to Slim Devices.
On the other hand, $2K tag presumes certain level of refinement, not
just a bunch of features. When I was buying my $3.5K CD player from
SimAudio, I read everything I could about their design approach - and
refinement was the

In keeping with the original Transporter vs SB3 question I also would
like to know how they stack up to each other in terms of sound quality.
I suppose we'll have to wait for the independent reviews to start coming
in but I'd really like to know how the 2 devices sound side by side on
the same

It appears that the 30 day trial applies to this product as well. And
how better to try out a component but in your listening room, connected

Under a properly conducted level-matched A/B/X test I would imagine no
audible difference between the Transporter and SB3. There is nothing in
the Transporter spec that I can see significantly improving the sound

Your opinions on audiophile concerns would naturally lead you to that
conclusion. Nevertheless, I don't think everyone feels that AES digital

That is an interesting comment. If not lower noise, lower distortion,

Fair enuff! That is pretty much what I thought, just wanted to see if
that was the general concensus round here...

Sorry for the silly question. I just directly go the forum without
visiting the home section. Anyway, thanks for the answer :-)
Looks much like a studio gadget, but the price is somehow out of
