If the digital volume control is noiseless then great! If the DAC is high-quality, then great! My point: the poster told a prospective Transporter buyer that he/she could diasbale the volume control, and even come out digitally if they want. I simply said, why bother with a $2k Transporter if that's how you are going to use it. Also, I was simply stating that many users of DACS with digital volume controls (under $2k) tend to disable them in favor of going through a preamp. Maybe SD will create a new mousetrap....that will be great.
