Hi guys, I have an audiophile past and I currently use a Meridian CD transport matched with a Musical Fidelity X-DAC and separate power supply. Since I bought my Squeezebox 3 I have ripped CDs to my pc using WMA lossless with error correction enabled. When streaming music I connect the Squeezebox coaxial connection to the X-DAC. Don't know about you but I am getting a great sound playing through my Aragon pre/power amp combination into my TDL Studio 1s. There is a slight loss of air and sound staging vs the Meridian CD Transport/X-DAC combo but that is it. When I want 100% audiophile vs 97% I go Meridian/X-DAC. The rest (most) of the time the convenience of menu driven streaming off the PC hard drive is unbeatable and the sound is way ahead of what I can achieve from the Squeezebox's analogue outputs. I am having a great experience with my Squeezebox/X-DAC combination and see no reason in the world why a Transporter would make any difference to me at all. If you can get your hands on a decent well rated DAC with a good power supply go for it. And the good news is you dont need to spend $6000 . Highly recommended.
