So one of the main advantages of the Transporter is that it plays the music outside of the computer, in the cleaner environment.
Since I'm using it as an external DAC too to play the sounds from the soundcard when needed (everything except music), I was wondering: Can the coax connection from the soundcard's (or onboard chip's) digital out pollute the Transporter's digital circuits with some sort of switching noise or other computer-related 'quirk' while Transporter is playing on it's own? Maybe airborne from all the various cables and power sources nearby that same coax? Also in that category falls in the wired vs wireless Transporter connection...can the same (hypothetical) pollution travel over the ethernet wire, does it matter in that input anyway since it's not (or is it?) directly connected to the digital audio circuits like SPDIF in is? -- nuhi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nuhi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10571 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35031 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
