And if he is saying "I hear no difference between the audio output of the Transporter's internal DAC playing to my analog inputs versus the Transporter digitally feeding an external DAC playing to analog inputs" then my response is of course you don't hear any difference. Hearing such a difference would likely mean something is broken. Most modern DACs sound the same (unless someone had done something very odd in designing the DAC).

The External DAC plays trough its own analog outputs. So you obviusly connects the DAC's analog output to your preamp/amp etc ? DAC=Digital to Analog Converter . Thats what it's doing that what they are for . Btw if you are using the transporeters digital outputs you are not using it's inbuilt DAC either, you are not using any DAC because you use a digital signal Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] External DAC on Transporter: best output option
I installed an highly rated Holo Audio Spring (Level II) external DAC to Transporter digital output (Coaxial). Spring DAC shows correct 44 k, 88 k or 96 k on DAC screen but there is no change in sound. If I turn Spring DAC off the sound stay the exactly the same as if the Transporter was only playing through it's internal DAC and not external one. Same situation if I use the Transporter toslink digital outputs. Am I doing something wrong. How can I get external DAC to play through Transporter digital outs? jazzyphile's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106519 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
