How does a Transport effect sound?

aniwolfe,

It sounds like he has improved his design from the unit that I owned.
So that’s a good thing.

With the PS Direct Stream player/dac combo I reallly have no more use for these devices.

+1, ozzy.
With a good transport/dac combo, such devices won't do much to improve SQ.

I have a good transport and dac combo. The SM improves quite a bit. Simaudio 260d and Lyngdorf 2170. It may not be as good as a Esoteric or PS Audio $$$$$, but I find it hard to believe that what I have is not "good"

While the Lyngdorf 2170 is good in its category of products, it may not be considered to be a true separate dac in the strictest sense of the word. Given the topology of the 2170, it is to be expected that the SM would significantly improve its SQ in spades. :)

From what I understand the transport is most in-need of the SM, not the dac.
