i like to add,i have the pleasure to listening transporter as a DAC using Arcam 74t >>>>transporter >>>>T8 >>>>D.A.C. 4800 digital amp>>omega grand 8.i also have AVA ultra DAC to compare with.I'm listen to the same CD Alison Krauss and Megadeth 3 times on the first 2 track.this is my temporary set up until my other set arrive next week.The transporter sound more live.the guitar ,piano,the drum and bass sound like live sound even my friend play bass in a band said the same thing.The AVA sound mellow ,more mid ,the drum not as lively ,so far i like the transporter more but i haven't make the decision yet until i have my main system set up.the transporter had power upgrade with stock tube that came with.Tube rolling start next couple weeks.
