I'm not sure anyone's ever suggested that all sources sound the same. What I will suggest, however, is that: All -digital- sources, provided they don't deliberately process the samples from the disc before delivering them to the SPDIF port, should sound the same when fed into a jitter-proof reclocking DAC.
So, if you have such a DAC, there should be no audible benefit in using a Transporter over an SB3, or even over the cheapest working CD player you can find on Ebay - provided you're using it as a digital source only. Even then there's still the possibility that you'll get a ground loop or some other effect that can't really be attributed to the 'quality' of the component, which may nevertheless affect what you hear. -- AndyC_772 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39815 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
