And I thought you were starting to rebuild your reputation in this forum, that is, until your last post.... I cannot disagree with you on the statement quoted above. sweetsound;259892 Wrote: > 2.

Sweetsound, Im not sure if FLAC can be a issue, lossless is lossless, but the Burr Brown situation is very different, sound improvement never comes by the dac chip alone, its how all the circuitry is built around it including power supply, and this is where the transporter excels, so yes, give it a try, take a demo out and post your comments after that. I cant wait for the esoterics of this forum to revamp the FLAC issue.... -- GuyDebord Reference 3A Royal Master monitors biwired with van den Hul Inspiration, REL Strata 5 sub.
