Anyone using a Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC 2 with a Transporter? I figure this would be a good upgrade and leaves a nice path to getting the Berkeley Audio USB sometime in the future.
Evilteddie, I've used my MW Transporter as a transport with several tube and SS DACs in the past and it works fine. In all situations, I prefer the AES/EBU over RCA or bnc connections.
Transporter + minimum phase filter + latest version of sox (the one included with SBS is not the latest version) is close to Alpha DAC1. Perhaps not a bad idea to try the free "upgrade" first.
I suppose it depends on what "good enough" means to you, or to what level of quality you are trying to reach...
I did not find the digi out on the TP to be that great once I got a DAC and began to use it... Quickly switched to a Bolder mod SB3 for a temporary solution and it was night and day! Way cleaner! The TP's digi out just sounded dirty. But maybe this software tweak will fix all of that.
