I have the Berkeley with a squeezebox touch (w/CI PS), not transporter, so thinking result may be similar. I upsample/clock the SB with an Esoteric G25U (pretty good cables)to 192k and sound is very, very good I do prefer my PC (in next room)+ 30 foot apogee (bnc) spdif out of an ESI Juli@ sound card into the Esoteric clock/upsampler. It has shown me that the SB is not as dynamic and slightly (slightly) veiled. BUT, breaks my heart to say, my multi year/multi thousand dollar forray into PC audio, it still doesn't sound as good as my Esoteric X03SE (w/G25U clock) into a regular old preamp. the randomness of music play is great but if I really want to listen, I'm still chained to physical media, being vinyl, tape, fm or cd's various methods.
