The point is not whether there is a differencee between the dacs , but whether you like any of the DACS. My take on the TP's dac is that it is analytical and not that much better than the Sb's ... I dont enjoy listening to it..your mileage may vary. I recon both units are best used as high end transports which leaves you free to find the dac that you like instead fo being tied to either - if that is the direction you take then keep the cheaper SB as its digital output is as good as the TP's The TP might have other advantages over the SB that make it worthwhile , like its balanced analog outputs , its ability to act as both a digital and "normal" pre , its ability to feed its own dac and thus insert some sort of DSP processor, looks , high res files and so on.
