Modwright Transporter VS Transporter w/DAC

La45,
The stock product is not a Modwright (modded) Transporter, but a Logitech Transporter. So when you ask about "the basic Modwright" it's a fully modded Transporter, about $1800 above the cost of the stock Logitech one (which goes for anywhere from $1-2k depending on used, etc.). The hypermod upgrade is another $300 and is not paramount to getting great sound, just a nice new power supply upgrade to the already modded Modwright Transporter. You can't just get the hypermod on a stock TP.

Current price for the basic Modwright Transporter mod is $2000. The top Platinum Signature Truth mod is $2500.

We offer the fully modified new player with our basic mods for $3800 and with Platinum mods for $4200 - shipped.

Thanks,

what's the difference between the basic transporter mod and the platinum signature truth mod? besides $500. :)

It's the Hyper-Mod (power supply upgrade) and Bybee filters.

I was one of the first to order the TP and at that time they were so far behind in production that they were giving away the Squeexebox to anyone willing to wait for the TP.

At first I ran the Squeezebox through the DAC of my Audio Aero Capitole as the Squeezebox DAC was not near as good as with the Capitole.

When my TP arrived I went back-and-forth between the Capitole's DAC and the TP. The TP was really good and quite analytic but by comparison the Capitole was still warmer...more 'musicality'.

Now I use the digital-out from my TP to my Anthem D2 and this is a really good combination. Folks as Slim Devices tell me that the Digital-out is no different on both the TP and Squeezebox...I should be getting the same results to my D2, either way. So, I got a really pretty thing, the TP, feeding my D2...and I am very happy.
