Don't think so. The Transporter uses the AK4396 and the Bryston uses
the Crystal CS-4398. Also, the Bryston DACs use an
re-sampling/re-clocking/upsampling design

found that the soundstage was noticeably wider. I recently upgraded to
a BP26DA (with a beefier external power supply), but haven't had a
chance to do any serious side-by-side listening.

Sure,
I purchased it from Tim at Audio Advisor for $1,995. Nice guy. They
