I mentioned this elsewhere before, but I recently upgraded from SB2/Lavry to transporter, and the improvement is stunning in my system. The Transporter has gobs more detail and yet sounding silky smooth. The SB2/DAC combination does not even come close IMO.
I hesitated for a long time, changing from Benchmark DAC to Lavry, because many in this forum opines that SB3/Benchmark sounds just as good as a Transporter. Well in my Naim system it does not. I never believed in night and day differences especially in similar grade digital front ends. Now I witness it first hand. I have also described my experience in the Naim forum, who has been raving about the Lavry like it is manna from heaven, comparing it to a $5K+ CDX2 or evan a CD555, with nary a mention of Transporter. http://forums.naim-audio.com/eve/forums?a=tpc&s=67019385&f=8772903417&m=7042993617&r=6092926717#6092926717 Thanks SlimD, you deserve a much better review than the recent BS from certain negative review from down under. -- agentsmith System 1: Transporter and a mostly Naim system System 2: SB2 connected digitally to a Meridian F80 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agentsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57325 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
