Modwright Transporter VS Opera Droplet 5.0 CDP.

I have heard the Droplet 5.0 and like it very much. It is now is available with a coaxial digital input designed to go with a new 24/96 streaming product from the same company called the Digital Box 1.0. With these two products linked you end up with a streaming solution not unlike what the MWT offers.

The main similarities are between them as I see it are - 24/96 streaming, tube based output, true balanced connections, and price.

I am interested in hearing from anyone who has heard both the Droplet 5.0 (with or without a streaming device attached) and also heard the MWT. My only interest is to know which sounds better as both systems are almost identical in what they offer. Thanks for any help.

Hey Chillinimrod, looks like Tvad is selling his Modwright Transporter. Could be your opportunity to try it. Actually, given the tubes he's including, it is a pretty good value IMHO.

I bought my MWTP in January 2008 and have been totally happy with the sound. I also use it as a DAC for those occasions when I still play CD's. I have an old Pioneer "Stable Transport" deck which I use as a transport.

I'm sure the Audio Note DAC is an extremely nice piece, but for the price, the Transporter is hard to beat!
