The measurable differences can be considered as fact but I was refering to hearable differences. It's ignorant and stupid to claim there is no hearable difference because that statement is falsified by one person hearing a differene.

Only thing I would conclude was that those people couldn't hear a difference and then I would still trust my own ears. If did't hear the difference, I would not consider buying the Tranporter because of better sound but still for other reasons. Nostromo;188600 Wrote: > Unless money was no object, of course.

It is kind of cool and I did do the comparisation, I have no doubts that the Transporter sounds way better than the SB. Comparing it to my combination with SB and an external DAC is tougher and I'm not sure it sounds that much better to justify a purchase for that reason solely. BTW, I have now a new Musical Fidelity DAC for test, the X-DACv8. First impression is a better sound than the X-DAC-v3 but I need to listen some more and then also try to AB test it. :) -- johann ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johann's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10177 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33368 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
