I'm lifting my post from another forum in hopes of understanding the Transporters audio capabilities.
I have an Anthem AVM50 pre-amp and Anthem MCA 50 Amp. Currently, I have the Transporter connected to the pre-amp using balanced XLR cables. It appears some people recommend using digital out via AES/EBU or BNC S/PDIF. This is where I become somewhat confused. Perhaps, my newness to this technology is causing my thinking to become flawed. If one of the most important feature of the Transporter is it's dac, doesn't using a digital out render this feature useless since the Anthems's dac would be used instead? I thought using the analog balanced out to the pre-amp was the only way to take advantage of the Transporter's dac. Maybe there is more going on within the Transporter than I am aware? Please advice as I want to be sure I am taking full advantage of what the Transporter offers. On another note, It appears BNC S/PDIF is not available on my AVM 50, I've never used such a connection, but don't see anything that resembles a connection matching the Transporter, I assume both ends match? Would the AES/EBU option available to me provide an adequate alternative if BNC S/PDIF is not an option?
