Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Benchmark vs. CIAudio VDA-2

I have the Channel Islands DAC and was wondering if the DAC-1 would be an upgrade. It seems that it would be no better than an even swap. Do you think any of new more expensive DAC's would come close to the performance of a transporter? Jim -- boxerboy

DAC's that might provide better sound from your current SB3 into your 5T's that would cost less than a Transporter. I use a Channel Islands VPA.2 DAC in one of my bedrooms. It costs $599. Jim -- boxerboy boxerboy's Profile

shouldn't sound muddy. The violin solos should sound real. Set the volume up high to enjoy this music. I hope you find this useful. Jim -- boxerboy boxerboy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5786 View

I have 5 SB3's and 3 Transporters. The quality of the DAC's in the Transporters are much higher. Are you using lossless files? If you are using MP3's you may not find much difference. What speakers are you using? What is your room like? Jim -- boxerboy
