Are you looking for opinion or fact? The Transporter is an upgrade over
the SB3. How good is the DAC that you have is IMO more to the point?
I have what I consider a good DAC, the Dodson DA-217 MKII-D, and it is
a very noticeable system improvement to go SB3 to Dodson to Pre-Amp
(VTL TL-6.5 Signature) versus an SB3. I would have to lean toward the
Transporter XLR balanced out to Pre-Amp as my main choice. Maybe its
less connections, but it seems to be better overall. But not saying
best in all cases. There are some recordings that appear to be more
pleasurable Transporter to Dodson to Pre-Amp. This might be due solely
to the recorded material and the quality of said recording which is
then upsampled to 24/96KHz then oversampled eight times (24/768) by the
Dodson with possible improving/compensating.
Checking some of the other posts on the forum, the Transporter is
getting the nod over the SB3/Lite 60. But it is close and mostly likely
coming down to listener preference. The combo is definitely more cost
effective.
