Tubes/valves seem pretty popular for that too...

And that's why I said "very many reasons why they would sound the same"
instead of just saying that they all sound the same.
I've looked at
It would be impossible to say for sure , the Transporter is well
designed product developer by sane people .
So the outputs should be ok all of them , the may differ measurably ,
but a product like this do not really have audible jitter levels for
example .
AES/EBU is actually not better than spd
*Can* sound better, as it will allow the DAC to operate using its own
internal clock.

I have a radical solution.
Take the transporter and gut it...then put a raspberrypi inside and use
the USB output.
You get the benefit of having the transporter still in the rack and usb
output, which you said sounds better.

Probably not. Some have n

Don't. The Transporter internal DAC is first-rate.

Exactly. Transporter is a high end DAC bolted on to a bog standard
squeezebox streamer. If you're not using its DAC it's an expensive
digital source.
