I just purchase the Transporter almost two weeks ago and I am using it with FLAC files. To my ears after break-in, it sounds great. I truly love the sound, and to me it sounds better then my CD Player. Voices sound clear and detail and to me musical. My CD player (BAT VK D5se with SIX-PAK output capacitor modules) sound like it playing through a filter next to the transporter. But again thats to my ears. Maybe its because I have an all tube setup. I cant say for sure, Later on this week I will connect my other amps (CI D200s) to it and see how they compare. But as it stands right now, my unmodded Transporter is a keeper and the CD player is a thing of the pasts.
