My wife used to make her desire for attention known by sitting next to
me on the couch and subtly jabbing her elbow or knee into me. It took
me a couple years but I finally wised up and got rid of the couch. Now
all we have are chairs. No more pain...

Sean, if the Transporter measures up to the specs you have published for
it, then yes it will smoke my NAD CD player, and most other CD players
to boot.

The new 0 to 100 scale is, I believe, true decibels. (In the past when
we used only 40 steps, it was a more complicated curve designed to
stretch out the low end of the range). So -10 corresponds to 90, -20 to
80, and -30 to 70.
Correct - exactly the same

View this thread:
A high-end DAC will exceed the sound quality of the SB3, which could be
revealed in a high-end system. However - it is not clear to me that it
is worth the trouble. Instead of going to that much trouble, (getting
an SB3 and external DAC,) I think it makes more sense to get a
Transporter.

Okay, I didn't realize Transporter changed volume in digital when
outputting thru analog outs.
Now, I run the transporter thru an integrated amp. So I am concluding
I should adjust volume using the amps volume controls. One question I
still have is how should I decide if I should use the

All you do is set the jumpers so that when transporter is playing at

The best test will be your ears I'm afraid. I feel that good and bad
are terms too absolute when referring to the sound of DACs. They all
differ, sometimes in very subtle ways. Someone will prefer one, whilst
others think it to be horrible (e.g. the Benchmark DAC1 seems to

Bad advice here...
