Well, for one thing, you don't have to worry about 24/192 FLAC's, as the Transporter doesn't support them... (in fact neither does SPDIF officially, and even further, neither does your Tri-Vista) I looked at the manual, which is one of the thinest I've seen in a while, and it appears to upsample everything to either 96k or 192k depending on the switch setting. I'd suggest you compare the analog out of the Transporter to your Tri-Vista and see which you prefer. -- DCtoDaylight Audiophile wish list: Zero Distortion, Infinite Signal to Noise Ratio, and a Bandwidth from DC to Daylight ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DCtoDaylight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57528 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
