Hi Spencer:
You are welcome, I think it is only fair that true testing of the components are measured with our experience and the best accuracy that we have available to us and then share results and fact finding among each other like yourself.
This really put us closer to the real world and help us all understand the determination and madness we audiophile geeks have for this passionate hobby.
One thing for sure we spend allot of time and money consequently trying to extract and squeeze for the reproduction of sound as intended during recording without and making it to clinical and believe you me that will certainly be tackled in a near thread to come... hint, "PWD"!
I have been doing this over 30 years and still prefer my Vinyl listening, but must say Digital has come along way, and find myself being able to listen longer with less fatigue.
Finally I must say from this thread it has shown the values and worth of the Transporter.
I personally must say thank you to Rich sharing his own experience of the Transporter.
It is an excellent investment for all the things it does with so many features and true benefits.
It is really hard to find a single component that lends so much. With the Squeeze Center interface and occasional firmware update has certainly, outside of vinyl turned my listening experience to another level, especially with 96/24 hi-res downloads.
Enjoy Music!
Harold
