Addendum: (to be fair) One thing I did not add to my last post and something that is obviously pertinent when discussing the Transporter, is the matter of sample rates. I only compared the TP with the Cullen-modded DAC using 44.1/16 (Redbook) sample rates. I did not listen to anything higher via the TP. I am not a big fan of up-sampling DACs (which the Cullen DAC is) and I can only imagine that higher sample rates (i.e.: 92/24, 196/24) would sound superior fed native via the TP as compared to up-sampling. Additionally, for me, the Cullen DAC and the TP fall short of true high-end playback. For that reason I am moving on. I am however, committed to staying the course with digital and music servers, as I believe continued improvements in digital hardware and the advancements in, and availability of, high sample rates will effectively bridge the gap between digital and analog playback. I also believe that Logitech/SB will continue to be an innovator.
