Answer to your first question: Maybe Reason: The Transporter only has digital inputs but your TV has both digital and analog audio outputs. If the digital output is just a plain stereo signal and not a mutlichannel encoded Dolby digital signal it should work okay. The Transporter cannot decode a multichannel digital signal. I can't give you a better answer since the Panasonic web site doesn't say what type of signal (stereo or multichannel) the digital output carries. Possible alternative solution: instead of a power amp use an integrated amp or a pre-amp and a power amp (if you already own the power amp). Answer to second question: The sound of the Transporter is very much -highend-. It compares quite favorably with CD players and DACs costing considerably more than $2,000. However, I do not my Transporter as a preamp since I have a preamp in my system so that I can play vinyl (just don't let the other forum members know that I still listen to vinyl ;)) -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60574 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
