i have had my transporter for about 3 weeks now. it is replacing a linn genki in my aktiv two lk-140 bi-amped ninkas linn system.
the transporter makes even the genki sound warm and fuzzy by comparison. the detail is a step up, the noise floor invisible and the clarity astonishing. high volumes are far less fatiguing than the genki, which is no slouch itself.
the only thing i am not completely used to is the sound of the treble, e.g. cymbals. it might be just so accurate my slightly aging hearing is the limiting factor.
i have been meaning to try some of the software emulation of tube components. just for fun.
one thing i am looking forward to trying is the 24bit/96khz files.
lastly, having your whole library at you fingertips (i am using ipeng on an ipod touch as a remote) is really revolutionary.
the cd player is dead.
