Logitech Transporter + Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC 2

Anyone using a Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC 2 with a Transporter?
I figure this would be a good upgrade and leaves a nice path to getting the Berkeley Audio USB sometime in the future.

Is the Transporter good enough as a transport?

Cheers

Evilteddie, I've used my MW Transporter as a transport with several tube and SS DACs in the past and it works fine. In all situations, I prefer the AES/EBU over RCA or bnc connections.

Good Luck!

I didn't like the Transporter as a transport to another DAC. I tried a couple DAC's with it, and the Transporter made them all sound like the analog outs of the Transporter.
Definitely not my experience with the MW Transporter. The sound is dependent on the digital cable or PC on the DAC that I use.

DAC is like computers, I don't chase the latest or greatest. I choose to invest in mature areas of my system. I've auditioned many DACs / SACD players that costing much more and so far have not found any that has motivated me to change.
