how does the transporter rate

Pavpet - no jitter? Think again. Why do you believe there is no audible jitter? Advertising? Reviews?

All clocks have jitter, some are just lower than others. You dont need a spinning CD to get jitter.

I just purchase the Transporter almost two weeks ago and I am using it with FLAC files. To my ears after break-in, it sounds great. I truly love the sound, and to me it sounds better then my CD Player. Voices sound clear and detail and to me musical. My CD player (BAT VK D5se with SIX-PAK output capacitor modules) sound like it playing through a filter next to the transporter. But again that’s to my ears. Maybe it’s because I have an all tube setup. I can’t say for sure, Later on this week I will connect my other amps (CI D200s) to it and see how they compare. But as it stands right now, my unmodded Transporter is a keeper and the CD player is a thing of the pasts.

I agree that the Transporter has moved my CDs to the proverbial 'back shelf' even as my CD player is the Audio Aero Capitole. Moving my music library to my G5 and using Apple Lossless is really good and so much easier.

will give it a try will set up with , transporter from squeezebox ,then use flac files ,

moemoney have all tube gear as well will give it a try

audioengr thought jitter was from transport only .,clock in transporterwould have enough jitter to be noticeable

guys your great keep info comming very interesting

The digital output should be fine, although more jitter than I care for.

Steve, how are you determining the jitter at a certain level - listening or measurements. The TP jitter matches the Benchmark DAC 1 while having about a 10 dB lower noise floor. The Benchmakr is generally considered a very good DAC.
