Hi Shazam:
I agree on some issues that you mentioned. I personally found my modded P/S Squeeze box 3 with the Tri-Vista 21 tube DAC A/B to the Transporter stand alone close if not better listening to ripped cd. Were the Transporter stand alone or with the Tri-Vista listening to downloaded 96/24 Hi-Res better.
The purpose of the Mod Wright P/S and output tube circuit upgrade was to incorporate a better analog output stage.
In my setup I really can not see the advantage to the modded Transporter. Having the Transporter outputted to the tube Melos 333 line pre-amp gives the same if not better warm tube colorization and takes away the dry and analytical digital sound.
As far as the PSAudio PWD design, I am sure the I2S source connection and the future bridge with jitter elimination by practice and theory should ideally be the best process outputting to the pre-amp/power amp stage.
I personally can not comment on the sound of the PSAudio PWD not having the opportunity to hear one yet.
On the subject of the Modded Transporter vs the stock Transporter with a external DAC, I would like to hear more real world experience and comments on topic.
Enjoy music!
