I agree with @apesbrain. For feeding same DAC, likelihood of differing sound quality is zero. You may or may not like the DAC in the Transporter vs your current DAC, assuming you use the analog out of the Transporter. I use a Transporter, balanced analog out to my pre-amp (so using the Transporter's built in DAC). I'm very fond of the Transporter, and in fact bought an extra one just to have as a backup in case my first one dies.
