I really hope you folks can help me w/ a question.
I recently purchased an original Slim Transporter used off Audiogon.
I already had a Duet and wanted the better DAC.
Over the past several months I have been rebuilding my system. I just
finished rebuilding a pair of classic Dahlquist
Hi,

It happens. I've had it perhaps twice in the many years that I've had my
Transporter.

Hi,
Does an external DAC really make a difference?
I have recently tried both an external DAV in the 300 and 1200
price range with my SB 3. Frankly speaking, neither me nor my spouse
have been able to detect more than a very subtle difference to the sound
of the SB 3 connected to my Creek
There line of compact amps are quite wonderful and very affordable.
The new One.two looks great for the price. Be sure to add one of the
better power supplies - they make a huge difference.

I listened to this at CES in 2008 and thought it was a fantastic
sounding piece of kit for the size and cost.

I've seen good reviews of the Trends Audio T-10 amp
(http://www.trendsaudio.com/index.php), but I've never heard one. The
Parasound Zamp v3 may also fit the bill, although it's more of an
in-rack design than a bookshelf design.

Do you want to power existing speakers? What size of Speakers? What
roomsize?
For smaller setups the since a few years there are the so called Class
T (Tripath) amplifiers. Very small and very strange price ranges. They
are all based on the same three chips and you can buy them from 50USD

I have found that the pursuit of differences is not a good approach
for the audio hobbyist.
What is more productive is to explore the question: What is it that I
do and don't like about the sound of my system?
There are ways to solve various problems in ones system and it is not

Great post Joerg.
Of course the best equipment will be capable of resolving the smallest
subtleties better than will lesser components. Whether this greater
capability ever reveals itself to the listener is another matter.

Jörg,
In the search for nirvana, I have become a recent convert to listening
room optimisation, and have found that moving the sofa around the room
has a far greater impact on the sound that I hear than any amount of
fiddling with the electronics. I have gone down the 'this dac is better

Hi-
I agree with the others - if you are happy with what you've got,
great.
However,it is possible the differences are subtle and you will only
notice them after extended listening. You could try listening to the
external DAC for a week or more and then switch back. If there is a
difference
difference is in the ear of the beholder
Actually, it is not. As I already mentioned, we were not able to hear a
real difference. In particular, not the incredible effects some people
are raving about in reviews and forums.
Of course, I know that a room can make a big difference, and probably
