Would the SB3, or the Transporter, be a sonic improvement over my current setup? I play WAV files directly from my PC to a digital input on a Theta Casablanca 3 with Extreme DACs.
My "sound card" is a Realtek AC '97 chip on the motherboard, and its only digital output is coax. I don't know whether it resamples or not. The cable is a 50ft 2X shielded OFC RG6 cable with gold-plated connectors from monoPrice.com. There is no hum or audible noise. The Theta is plugged into an EquiTek balanced power conditioner and is (I think) isolated from the AC circuit into which the PC is plugged. Because the Theta DACs are so good, I would expect to use the S/PDIF output on the SB3 or Transporter. Any advice will be gratefully received.
