Just wanted to chime in on my experience with the SB vs Transporter.
I have a fairly decent system, B&W 703's connected to a McIntosh MA6900. My music collection is encoded in the lossless FLAC format.
I bought a Transporter at a good price to replace my SB3. To my ears after countless A/B comparison I could not hear a difference between the two. I had to keep the Transporter because the sale was final but if the situation was different I would have kept the SB and looked at something else.
Yes the Transporter is more feature packed but to my ears I could hear no sound/music improvement.
