I picked it up ok, all seems fine. Does the Transporter have squishy rubber feet? I’m not sure these ones are original as they look poor quality. And the Remote that came with it wasn’t backlit. Still happy with it though. Got it wired in and working. Just need to play with the various ways

I have and use both. Both are good. XLD iis not always as good at tag preservation as dbpoweramp is, especially during format conversions. With XLD, I find myself having to use Kid3 more often to clean up tags. That’s why I recommend dbpoweramp first. As always, you get what you pay for. But

If you buy from HDTracks, it is worth the money to buy DBPoweramp. Everytime my Transporter chokes on a 24-bit stream, it is one from HDTracks. Incompatible FLAC format and/or compression rate. Re-encode it through DBPoweramp and problem solved. It will also downsample a 192 khz purchase down

For future reference, synchronous/asynchronous sounds more like a description for whether the SRC occurs in real-time or is done beforehand. I believe you're referring to is an integer or non-integer "up/down-sampling factor" or "sampling rate conversion factor". Cheers, Darren Check it, add

If the Transporter output buffer runs out of data (e.g. due to network issue) then there will be a buffer underrun signalled. Are there any messages in the server.log ? Can you attach a DAC to digital output to test to see if the problem is in the analog output stage ? --

I think you'll have a hard time finding a DAC that sounds as good as the Transporter. Even finding one that's a minuscule better will cost a lot of money. And no, I don't infer that all pricey equipment necessarily sounds better or even good at all. I know people who have compared the Transporter
