Hello,
I want to run the Transporter directly into my NAIM Nap180 power amp
and do away with my Benchmark1 DAC and NAIM NAC102 preamp.
Something that hasn't been mentioned is that the circuit design of Naim
power amps relies on the input signal being bandwidth

You'll probably be surprised to hear we make one that matches the SB+.
It definitely beats a NAP140 to my ears and I don't miss the NAP135s I
used to have either. I'm currently running two of them (they're dual

Hello,
I'm sorry to have to do this but I am very flummoxed indeed.
I am not sure what flummoxed means but... relax!
From what I can tell the Naim NAP180 has Unbalanced input (and a wierd
connector).
Thus you can use the Transporter Unbalanced Analog Outputs with
