I have both a Touch and a TP ( as well as a Squeezebox Classic and Boom ...) For many years I used the TP with its own DAC, driving ATC SCM 100 ASL loudspeakers direct. The results were very, very good. I recently bought a Schiit Yggdrasil DAC ( approx £2200) having auditioned several other DACs ranging in price from £500 to £3000, none of which sounded any better than the TP's own DAC. The combination of the TP and the Schiit DAC is, to my ears, outstanding. I certainly prefer it to the TP's internal DAC. The 'improvement' is subtle but noticeable and I am extremely happy with it. The TP was already very good but in my opinion, which of course is subjective, the external DAC has taken the TP to another level. Using the digital output from Touch to the same external DAC produces surprisingly good results, especially considering the cost of the Touch. However, the TP/External DAC combination delivers a very noticeable improvement compared with Touch/DAC. This suggests that the digital output stage of the TP has been better engineered than the Touch, which is hardly a surprise give the price differential! I use the BNC output from TP, but both the RCA and AES outputs also sound superior to the RCA output from Touch. iwalker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13004 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110942 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter vs Touch with EDO
If you are using either as a digital head end, the TP is a bit better in that role than the Touch. But both are very good. The TP is a superior implementation than the Touch going through to the output stage. So in some respects, the Touch is more responsive to an outboard DAC than a TP is. But I run both models into more upscale DACs, as even the output stage of the TP is nothing all that spectacular in comparative terms. So it may ultimately depend on the caliber of your contemplated outboard DAC as to which SB is a better fit for you. For instance, a TP on a $250-500 DAC is likely a downgrade. But the TP soars to another level with a $4,000 one. And as I just mentioned in another thread, a Touch can be elevated into a budget-priced killer streamer when paired to something like an old CAL Alpha. YMMV. sgmlaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110942 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

However, it is unlikely the "look" of the Transporter that drives things for me. The Transporter and amp and preamp are all stuck in side a cabinet. I only see any of these things if I open the doors (which I rarely do). I control everything with either my laptop or ipeng or CONTROLLER. The amp tuns on based on receiving audio. So I never have to fiddle with the equipment. This said, it is certainly possible that even thinking that the Transporter looks cool, without even seeing it makes me like it! p.s.
