I haven't heard either of these, but the relative bad press Consonance has gotten around here lately in regard to customer service, reliability, etc., would make me lean toward the modwright, which gets almost universally high praise. Of course, there are other options as well. I use a Resolution Audio Opus 21, that has a digital in and also does 24/96. I use a modded Squeezebox streaming device into the Opus with great results. As indicated, a 24/96 capable Squeezebox Touch is to be released soon, that may be a good option for you.
Modwright Transporter VS Opera Droplet 5.0 CDP.
I have heard the Droplet 5.0 and like it very much. It is now is available with a coaxial digital input designed to go with a new 24/96 streaming product from the same company called the Digital Box 1.0. With these two products linked you end up with a streaming solution not unlike what the MWT offers.
The main similarities are between them as I see it are - 24/96 streaming, tube based output, true balanced connections, and price.
I am interested in hearing from anyone who has heard both the Droplet 5.0 (with or without a streaming device attached) and also heard the MWT. My only interest is to know which sounds better as both systems are almost identical in what they offer. Thanks for any help.
