>From what Sean has said about the Transporter the coax outputs for the TP and the Touch are conceptually identical. My current understanding is that the Touch uses slightly better parts in its output circuit, but the TP has slightly lower jitter to begin with. I don't have thenm both side by side to compare but my guess is that the TP will be ever so slightly better than the Touch. Both will be way better than an SB3. Both of them are very close to being about as good as its possible to get. The rest of the system is going to be far more important. The exact details of the cables used, connectors, how the connectors are attached to the cables, and especially connectors , board layout and input circuitry in the DAC are going to be far greater than the differences between the TP and the Touch. As far as the analog outs go I actually prefer the Touch. But of course that is one of those individual preference things. When you start comparing mods, who knows.
