I'll just throw in my two cents on this subject. I auditioned the Transporter under their trial offer and ended up keeping my SB3 to use with a Lavry DA-10 external DAC. I could find no audible difference between them to justify keeping the Transporter. That was about two years ago and I've had absolutely no urge to change anything at the source end of my system since.
The Transporter does have some flexibility that the SB3 does not, and it combines the receiver and DAC into one box. There is also the appearance issue; the Transporter simply looks like a more serious piece of equipment and that is certainly important to many people. The Transporter is certainly an excellent product, and by high-end audio standards, is still quite reasonably priced. I don't think you can go wrong either way. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61686 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
