Yeah by all accounts they are good and as my preamp has balanced inputs I was thinking I could also compare internal dac with external clock locked dac to see which wins. I am suspecting my dac as for my ears I still cant find better (different yes but there are some things about it that it still does better than anything at any price). Only alternative I have that can accept my DACs clock output is 1. Transporter with lms running on server. 2. M2tech evo2 usb-spdif connected to fanless pc but then LMS would be in daphile on that fanless pc with daphile pointing at server for storage). I figure transporter is better an most flexible option but the m2tech shouldnt be too much in it got overall sound.

It's hard to find a DAC that sounds better than a Transporter. I have tried, as I wanted to switch to a USB setup. After unsuccessfully trying a few different DAC's I became the proud owner of a RME ADI-2 FS, but it didn't sound nearly as good (level matched) so I reluctantly sold it. After that I called off the search. So looks like I'll be keeping the Transporter for the foreseeable future.

Re: [slim] Wanted Transporter (U.K.)
Dont have broken one, changing setup to allow me to take advantage of clock locking my dac as opposed to much inferior spdif. I seriously doubt a rpi feeding my dac via spdif would beat a transporter clock locked to my dac. Thats whole point of me wanting transporter as I want to clock lock to dac master clock. Only 2 ways being clock is 128fs is transporter or m2tech evo 2 usb-spdif (however they aint cheap and it means me having either computer or similar to plug it in to on rack as well (where as transporter doesnt). I also suspect as good as the m2tech device is it would be hard pressed beating the actual measured jitter of transporter when clock locked. Lastly ebay does have em from USA in silver and SE which is my least preferred option and inc delivery they are over £400 iirc (by time I get charged import duty, vat and couriers admin charge Ill probs be a quite a chunk higher then U.K. s/h prices :) Many thanks for ideas but not really what I am after as none will allow a 128fs master clock.

Also ... your request implies that you have a broken one.

[slim] Wanted Transporter (U.K.)
Anyone selling a good transporter in U.K.? Missed a couple on eBay but not seeing them too often and really need one to get my hi-if up and running again, Prefer black and non SE but would consider any version.
