harbeth p3esr or usher be 718

CD transport vs streamer?
Richlane,If I smell what you're cooking, you are saying that the SB3 (or Duet) as a transport only, does not match the performance of the Transporter used as a transport only. Given that both of these are used only as transports into a dac and not... 
Squeze Box Question
Unclejeff,Are you using the Transporter into the Anthem D2 or the Squeezebox? Wondering if your choice of transport makes a difference.Are you using the ARC system in the D2 for room correction?Thanks,Bill
