Hi The tact millennium is a powerd dac so we just connect a singelended digital cable to the dvd players -digital out-. The transporter when used as an dedikated transporet works wonders when connected directly to the millennium sound is so pure. A guitar really sounds like a guitar and so on . Before i had 2 lyngdorf tda2200 amps lyngdorf cd-1 and roomperfect roomcorrection w210 corner subs gamut l3 speakers hydra 8 with all anaconda vx cables special platforms and vertex aq cabels . I gladly sold it all and bourgt a tact milennium mk3 had that completly moddified then a Transporter wich also is moddified and system audio 99 as tempoary speakers wich basicly is the cheapes worst speaker system ever made. What puzzels me is that the sound in my room with that gear sounds alot better then my former references system ever sounded . and thats with the cheap speakers stock cabels no roomcorrection no nothing .wonder will happen when i get the cremonas; ) The Transporter have alot to do with this fantastic sound its so musical. I would really had liked to demo the calendras again but this time with the transporter as sourch. regards -- harmonic harmonic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33327 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter and Nuforce monobloks
Hi all My main amp is a tact millenium . when i use the transporter as an transport into the emillennium the sound i get is very close to perfect . its no contest vs the ice amp wich is a moddified version of the asp1000 modul with a much larger power supply. But what i do like about the ice amp is its bass dynamics wich i thing is just a littel better then the mk3 and have thinking about a replacement of amp. But it better be pretty damm good to better the millennium mk3. Now the nuforce ref 9 se amps when i read about it it pretty much describes what i would like from a amplifire . Big bass dynamics grainfree treble layered soundstage that opens up bacwoards wich i thing is perfect for a smalle 16 sq meter room . My tact millennium tends to create the soundstage infront of the speakers wich is good but when you only sit 3 meter from the speakers it can make the soundstage to much in your face . So i kind of hope the ref se would be what i have been looking for . regards -- harmonic harmonic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33327 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter and Nuforce monobloks
As both a Nuforce and Bel Canto dealer in Australia, I would go for an ice power amp (eg.Belcanto REF1000) over the Nuforce. I am afraid that the Nuforce build quality and other issues lead me to recommend Belcanto over Nuforce. The Nuforce also generates enough RFI to take out FM reception at 10 metres. Definitely use the TP direct to a power amp if you can, at the price there is next to nothing that can beat it. The transparancy and immediacy is just amazing. -- dlite dlite's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4885 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33327 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

In my 30 years experience, the simpler the playback system, the more musical and pleasant the sound. It's very hard to explain, it's the micro ear/brain/time delay/phase/amplitude/decay/reverberant cues that are the norm in our daily lives which help the brain locate things, I dunno, just my humble opinion...

Some people love TACTs. Others love the minimalist approach. Using the TACT implies forgoing the Tp DAC, which in my opinion is the whole point of the Tp. you can always pair an SB3 with the TACT if you want to have a cheaper transport and use a seperate DAC. As you can tell, I am in the minimalist camp and go Tp to power amp directly using builtin passive attenuation. There has been a request of SD to enhance the Tp with a digital out loop capability to loop in the TACT digitally so you can get room correction and still us the Tp DAC.
