So the Touch is (almost) as good as the Transporter when using the
digital out.
How about upgrading from a SB Receiver to the Touch for the digital
out? Worth it? I have purchased a few 24/96 albums from HDTracks.com,
they do sound awesome even through the Receiver feeding a Muse TDA1793
dac...
Haven't heard the transporters DAC's, but I'm running the Touch with a
channel island power supply into my Benchmark DAC/PRE, and the sound is
-superb- with flac.

Although I do love the transporter and continue to use it in my main
system. I'd say the touch (as a transport) is almost as good but a lot
cheaper. In terms of component
Wow, remember seeing the transporter in Currys and thing yes but the
cost was high. And you are rating the Touch higher. Can,t wait for mine
to arrive.
