Logitech Transporter + Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC 2

OK, so I found a large amount of information on this minimum phase ana Antipodal Filtering:

Will this work if I use the TP as a transport or is it a funciton of the DAC.
Please excuse my ignorance :)

Yo2tup, mine too and I agree. Good for its time, or good for someone at its used level but not great for a transport for a diserving dac. But as stated before. It depends on your level. The MWTP is very good in its own right and at its level.

You can use the min-phase filter whether TP is used as a transport or transport+DAC.

In the case of using the TP as a transport with min-phase filter enabled, the sound of your DAC will be influced (I think positively, unless your DAC already has a min-phase filter) by the filter and parameter you set.

The headfi article is a little old. I have since modified the sox function to adjust the DAC sound to my taste. Right now I have touch (with boulder PS) running the min-phase filter into Cary exciter and the combo sounds wonderful in my secondary system.

I am no longer using transporter for much of anything since I acquired Linn Klimax.

So here's another twist...

How about using an Empirical Audio Pace Car between the TP and DAC?

or should I just ditch the TP and go the USB route with a Berkeley USB or Empirical Off Ramp 5?

I don't know, I find the TP to be very satisfying on digital out.

Have compared it to several decent CD/SACD players and like it better by a decent amount. Granted, not to super high end CD players. And also to a non-modded Touch - no comparison imo. Granted, I use a decent power cable, and decent digital cable from TP to DAC and I'm careful to tune the Squeezecenter configs.

If the Transporter is only serving as a bridge to a USB input on a good DAC, and not part of a whole home music distribution system, and your DAC has a reputable USB input, I'd say going straight from computer to DAC on USB is a good option also.
