I tried this and couldn't hear any difference with either my Transporter, SB2, or SB3. My music collection is stored in Apple Lossless, but I convert to WAV in Slimserver before sending to the TP/SB. In all cases, I'm using a wireless connection. Using a Dodson DA-218 DAC with the Transporter, a Bel Canto DAC3 with the SB3, and a Zhaolu DAC2.0 with the SB2. Speakers being used are the Focus Audio FS-888, FS-688, and Acoustic Zen Adagios. Preamps include a Blue Circle BC3000mkII w/GZpz power supply, Bel Canto Pre3, and no preamp (SB2 is hooked directly to the amp). Amps include a Blue Circle BC206 hybrid stereo amp, a pair of Bel Canto ref1000 monoblocks, and a Bel Canto S300 stereo amp.
For some context regarding what I do hear, I hear differences when using an Elpac power supply with my SB2; I hear differences between various interconnects, speaker cables, and power cords; and in certain systems I can hear differences in vibration control devices et al. But I couldn't hear a difference in this particular case.
