Not really. If Linn made a standalone dac anymore (which they don't) you could use an SB3 as a transport and save a packet. The consensus appears to be that as a pure transport, TP and SB3 are close enough to make no difference... unless you read Hi-Fi World of course, where apparently transports can make all sorts of extraordinary soundstaging, dynamics and tonal balance differences (falls off chair laughing at latest issue). -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
