1. It sounds worse with some systems (i.e., TacT gear) than a better digital source - be it a SB3 with modified digital out, SB3 with a separate processor (like the Apogee Big Ben), or a digital-only Transporter. 2. Maybe I want the Transporter knob. 3. Maybe I want the dual displays. 4. Maybe I don't want a separate linear power supply. 5. Maybe I find the Transporter form factor more attractive. For my personal wish list, I'd like a digital-only Transporter without the knob and buttons, but with the dual displays. In reality, I've ordered a Transporter for use solely as a digital front end. If it doesn't sound at least as good as the SB3 + Apogee Big Ben I'm currently using, it goes back. Otherwise I can sell 2 SB3 and the Big Ben to defray the cost of the Transporter. Hopefully I'll be able to report the results in a couple of weeks.
