ModWright Transporter

Has anybody here been exposed to the ModWright transporter?:

On paper (or pixels since this is the Internet) this is the reasonably priced all-in-one, file-based kind of solution I've been looking/hoping for. The 6moons review was positive, but short on detail.

Any feedback on this would be welcomed.

I have had my unit for a couple of weeks. It is much better than my previous Cary 306 SACD (!), and very very close to my Burmester 001. If I run digital out from the Modwright and uses the Burmester 001 as DAC I am not able to tell the difference.

I live in Norway and D.Wright has been excellent to deal with. This player has my highest recommendations!

I prefer to use a good preamp. I have the latest Burmester 011 pre. I also have the latest Burmester 001 CD. I guess the Burmester 001 CD benefits from that (synergy), but the Modwright player is very very close in quality when I use the built in DACs. If I should perform a blind test I guess you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. That is quite an achievement when you compare the price. Burmester 001 is $22k, modwright <4k !

I will get the new Burmester 069 reference player soon so for future I guess I will not use the DACs in the Modwright player.

I also have the new Accuphase 700 player in my system right now. I use this for SACD. But on Redbook I find the Modwright player to equal this player!!
