Logitech Transporter + Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC 2

Transporter + minimum phase filter + latest version of sox (the one included with SBS is not the latest version) is close to Alpha DAC1. Perhaps not a bad idea to try the free "upgrade" first.

Anyone with similar experience?

You can use the min-phase filter whether TP is used as a transport or transport+DAC.

In the case of using the TP as a transport with min-phase filter enabled, the sound of your DAC will be influced (I think positively, unless your DAC already has a min-phase filter) by the filter and parameter you set.

The headfi article is a little old. I have since modified the sox function to adjust the DAC sound to my taste. Right now I have touch (with boulder PS) running the min-phase filter into Cary exciter and the combo sounds wonderful in my secondary system.

I am no longer using transporter for much of anything since I acquired Linn Klimax.

That's encouraging news. I have compared BADA2 using CDP as transport in one system and TP w/ Min-phase filter in another system, and I couldn't bring myself to buy the BADA2, as I didn't now whether the min-phase filter effect is additive/subtractive.

Not it appears that TP + BADA2 is a great combo. Before I go jumping on BADA as a replacement for my DAC in my 2nd system, could you run a test between TP internal DAC w/ min-phase filter and BADA2 using CDP or another source as the transport?
