1. phono preamp -> analogue preamp -> power amp 2. phono preamp -> A/D converter -> Transporter -> power amp I think you are saying that you feel setup #1 will give superior sound quality. Intuitively one would expect this to be the case, as it avoids the A/D and D/A conversions. But I personally feel that setup #2 will sound better because in my experience, at a given price point, A/D converters are more transparent than preamps. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33868 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
