[QUOTE="croak, post: 627603, member: 361"] You would think so. A customer of mine runs a MacBook with both pure music and amarra in to a Berkeley audio Alpha DAC and separate USB to spdif/AES box. For fun and curiosity I took a refurbished Theta Data Basic transport round his place. He listened and started price negotiations the next day. Far better bass, wider and deeper soundstage and better focus. My feeling is new DACs are less susceptible to transport quality but not at all immune. [/QUOTE]
