Thanks for the replies. I understand how data works, I just wasn't sure
if the extra connection might make any difference, but it makes sense.
My music server is plugged into a wired router along with the SB3.
That is all that is on that network. I have a separate wireless
network for my compu
Thanks, I haven't been on here in a while and I was out of touch.

Gary, I already have an SB3 (with linear power supply) with an external
DAC. That's why asked about comparisons for these three as transports.

I've owned all three at the same time although my Transporter was not

You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it
ain't what you'd call minimal...
...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some
very expensive cables
I've heard sb3 v sb+.but not back to back .
in standard form the sb3 sound thin and weedy compared to the sb+'s
that I've heard [at least three different ones]...
I've just built a psu for my sb3 [see diy section] and I think it gets
80% of the way to the sb+ now.

All,
Has anyone compared the following as TRANSPORTS:
SB vs SB+
SB vs Transporter
SB+ vs Transporter
If you believe that transports sound different, or if you believe they
don't, please don't respond about that. Sorry for the bluntness but

OK, can you provide a few details? How many trials did you do, and

With some of the lesser known products available from overseas, you have

There is a lot of information about the necessity to match the source
and amplifier using analog attenuation.
