I already have the SB3, not the transporter, and was wondering if the money spent on replacing it with a transporter would be better spent on an external DAC. The advantages to the X-DAC V8 include the USB input for PC and the tube output option. It upsamples to 24bit 192kHz, and can take such an input. I guess my biggest question, will the SB3 pass the highres files to the DAC, or does it just refuse to try and play them. I know its DAC cannot handle them, and the transporter can, but if you are using an external DAC can the SB3 pass the signal even? I certainly do not want to spend the money on the Transporter, then another chunk on an external DAC to go with it, I would be looking to the transporter as the final DAC I buy for this system. -- linuxtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ linuxtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35775 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
