Radiohead White Stripes sounding good ist exactly what I needed to know. It's important that not only hi-end bing-bang jazz works with these dacs, but also real down to earth good music. Thanks! Topa. -- topa topa's

I think it is a great idea. The Lavry handles jitter by buffering and re-clocking the signal. The end result is that everything sounds the same through it -- inexpensive dvd/cd players, expensive cd players, a SB3, and the Transporter. The Transporter seems to work easily well, although I

Have you noticed any differences in how the Lavry or TP handle bad or noisy recordings or even lossy files like MP3? Is Hard Rock equally enjoyable as Jazz? Regards, Topa. -- topa topa's Profile:

Topa, If you would regard vintage and poorly digitized classical recordings as noisy, then, yes, I've heard them through the Lavry and TP. They sound about the same. I don't really listen to hard rock -- at least not very much. My general experience, though is that a lot of audiophile quality

A CD works just fine. So, you're right -- must be the DTS/Dolby stuff. Anyway to change this via firmware? IE, so that it could deal with it, like some others? That would be great. -- highdudgeon Relax. It's about the music.
