There is a difference, but it's small (smaller than analog anyway) and only your equipment and ears will be able to say for sure. The Transporter has lower jitter and an overall better implementation throughout - from more stable power all the way to better S/PDIF conversion. > Using analog output, would I be able to hear a noticeable difference in > sound (for the better of course) if I were to use the Transporter and > its analog output versus the SB? You should be able to. It's a much greater difference than digital anyway. However it depends if the Lexicon converts incoming analog signals to digital, applies processing and converts to analog again. It probably does. This would make it sound different than going to an analog preamp or direct to an amp. However, knowing Lexicon, these would be high-quality parts and would not degrade the signal, plus this process would be applied both to the SB and the Transporter equally, so there should still be a difference. Only your ears can say how big a difference, but with your equipment it should be appreciable. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30667 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
