Try ripping with DBPowerAmp, if that works, you'll never go back to EAC!
I'm currently using EAC. What are the benefits of using DBPowerAmp
instead of EAC? I may try it out if there are advantages to be had.

I use dbpoweramp to rip my CDs to FLAC. The advantage over EAC that I
see is that its much easier to get to grips with - has a ice UI. I

So, here's the thing: I am only interested in the Transporter for analog
output.
My question is, knowing what little we do know about the Transporter,
and knowing that the Lavry (which I have tried) consistently beats out
the DAC1 in shoot-outs (see link in the Lavry forum), what might the

It is not that cut-and-dried. JA finally says he is using it for

I have a Transporter ordered and I will be using it to feed two mono

Actually, isn't the sp/dif jitter of the SB3 around 80 or so? shouldn't
matter, though, because the Lavry completely buffers and re-clocks the
incoming signal. So much for jitter.
JA didn't say quite that. He said they were virtually
indistinguishable and that he uses the other transport for
I just read up on the Lavry, it is quite possible it is immune to
transport jitter. The idea seems to be the same as the Genesis Digital
Lens (put data into memory buffer and clock it out), which is
supposedly a very good jitter reduction device.
In that case, a SB3 and a Lavry might be your

signals of ~2 volts, which is plenty to clip the amps I have. I

I must admit, I haven't actually measured the output of my SB3, as I'm

Alas, the problem then becomes one of attenuation. The Lavry has a
range of 0-56 for volume control. It is analog. They recommend 40,
which seems high, for use with domestic audio products.
