ModWright Transporter

I want to follow if it acting as pre to amps is way to go.

I have had my unit for a couple of weeks. It is much better than my previous Cary 306 SACD (!), and very very close to my Burmester 001. If I run digital out from the Modwright and uses the Burmester 001 as DAC I am not able to tell the difference.

I live in Norway and D.Wright has been excellent to deal with. This player has my highest recommendations!

Cappuccino, by using an external DAC, are you saying you don't like the ModWright DAC that is part of the Transporter or was that just for A/B comparison?

Also curious if you are using a pre-amp or going straight to your amp and using the volume control on the Transporter.

Thanks for chiming in!

Cappucino,
Do you use a preamp or run the Modwright Transporter direct to your amplifiers? If preamp, have you tried running direct to amp?
Thanks

I prefer to use a good preamp. I have the latest Burmester 011 pre. I also have the latest Burmester 001 CD. I guess the Burmester 001 CD benefits from that (synergy), but the Modwright player is very very close in quality when I use the built in DACs. If I should perform a blind test I guess you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. That is quite an achievement when you compare the price. Burmester 001 is $22k, modwright <4k !

I will get the new Burmester 069 reference player soon so for future I guess I will not use the DACs in the Modwright player.

I also have the new Accuphase 700 player in my system right now. I use this for SACD. But on Redbook I find the Modwright player to equal this player!!
