require a complete board redesign. That's something a modder
can't achieve.
Adding an external DAC can improve the analog output through that DAC
but you will still be limited to playing 24/48 kHz files.
So in summary, if you want the best sound, get the Transporter. :)

Most, if not all, of the Transporter mods either increase distortion or
raise the noise floor.
Neither of those things are a good result. YMMV.

Can't comment on the 1709, cause they don't have the D/A output specs,
but my 3808ci which costs 3x more has worse specs than the SB3 on the
