How does a Transport effect sound?

erj1953,

I totally agree with you about the PS Audio Direct Stream player it is fantastic as a transport for the PS Direct Stream Dac.

On the other hand, when I bought (new) the Synchro Mesh it degraded the sound in my system. I sent it back for a refund. And I must say that I was given quite a hard time getting my money back.
Perhaps the owner has now seen the errors in his customer relations.

Steve,

Yes, it was within the 2 week period. It took about 45 days for you to finally grant me the pleasure of your refund.
It also took 2 months for you to make the unit because you said you don’t have much spare time to produce the lower end of your products and that you would not be rushed by anyone.

Again, I hope you have changed your attitude with dealing with customers. However,  I for one would NEVER try one of your products again based on my experience with you!

wig,

Thank you for your reply. Perhaps you got one from stock or maybe it was a returned item? I was not so lucky. I stated previously it took 2 months, it was actually closer to 3. And I hate it when you have to pay for an item and keep waiting and waiting for shipment. Yes, I kept emailing him about my order, that is when he commented that his life activities are so busy and important that he won’t be rushed by anyone.
As I said before, perhaps the owner has started to treat customers with more respect. That’s a good thing.

sardone,

I concur.
The better the Dac the less important these add on devices are. I did however enjoy the Mutec USB+ unit.

leemaze,

Your right sorry.
I don’t know what jitter sounds like. But with its reduction/elimination the music sounds purer less digital sounding.

audioengr, Steve,

First off waiting 3.5 years for speakers is ridiculous and I don’t believe you.

Secondly, I read what you just posted and that is still no excuse for ignoring customers emails, phone calls and all the while you took my money up front with no means of communications for months. When I was finally able to talk to you, you were very RUDE like you had no time to deal with the little people.

Again I was hoping you have overcome those issues and now provide better customer service than you did for me. But, it looks like you still won’t accept your previous poor customer service, in your mind the customer is at fault.

Anyhow, you know how I feel and I hope others who deal with you do so with some skepticism.

and lets get back to the OP questions.

Transports IMHO are advantages because they specialize in one thing, sort of like having separate components instead of using a intergraded unit. With separation comes better power supply, less jitter, better isolation etc.

leemaze,

Again sorry I high jacked your posting.

aniwolfe,

It sounds like he has improved his design from the unit that I owned.
So that’s a good thing.

With the PS Direct Stream player/dac combo I reallly have no more use for these devices.
