I'm not using a Transporter, just an SB3 - but I am very happy with my rig. Bel Canto S300 power amp (which has balanced and XLR inputs) into B&W 703's. I, like you, just wanted a very minimal set up for stereo audio listening. With no pre-amp you need to be a little careful that your source doesn't overload the power amp. Luckily, the transporter has internal jumpers that you can use to attenuate the signal.
The wiki has a really helpful post to guide you through building a system with just a power amp and speakers http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Connect_To_PowerAmp -- sebage http://www.last.fm/user/sebage/ Main system; SB3 - Bel Canto S300 - B&W 703 In the study; SBG - Beresford TC-7510 - T-Amp - B&W DM600 & Sony Sub For the hard to reach places; SBB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sebage's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2617 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63433 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
