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.

Quick question on an old thread. Is this transporter mod good only if you are using the internal DAC ?

I'm using a transporter with an external DAC, would I notice a difference with Digital outs ?
