Sorry, I must have misunderstood :-)
Thought question was "Why did you switch from Transporter to SB
Touch?"
I did not stated before above question, that Transporter was used only
as digital source in my system.
Anyway, let's put this aside and enjoy our music :-)

That's not really relevant to the question of which one performs better
as a transport feeding an external DAC.

Norderney,
Audiomuze is right. I use Touch as digital transport only.
Logitech Transporter is a very fine audio piece and it's been
entertaining me for some time. If it was the last dac I had I would
live with it. However, we all have the choice and I have always felt
that it did not provide suf

Touch apparantly has lower jitter passthrough than the Transporter.
Looks like an external DAC is in use, hence Touch is being used only as
a transport.

Why did you switch from transporter to SB Touch?
Now that you have been running with the SB Touch for a while, are there
any improvements/differences in the sound?
Just interested. I currently have an original Transporter going into a

Please share your opinion about best sounding version of Windows 7

YEARS ago Aragon made D/A converters and pre-amps with AC to DC
converter to eliminate interference from electricity. Someone also
sold a 'black magic' power strip that prevented inteference. It just

To paraphrase an old line, "this is God's way of telling you that you
