Strikes me that you're going to be limited by how good your AV amp is.
I've yet to hear one that I think can really deal with music.
So I'd suggest you go the cheap option of the duet, as I just don't see
you getting the benefit of the extra spend on the transporter.

Use the digital output of duet into an external dac of your choice or

Hi, I am trying to figure out whether to get a Duet or a Transporter. I
currently have a Yamaha RX-V2700 receiver which I guess would be
mid-upper range ($1700 when bought new two years ago). I also have a
Rotel 200x5 amp powering my Polk LSi speakers and a big SVS
I would say you should try out the Duet first. I have a Transporter and

Buy a duet, listen to it, see if its great enough to make you happy. If
