USB input and coax digital output. This is where the audio quality comes from because it contains the master clock. If you want to stay with the Transporter but just make it better, then add a reclocker like the Synchro-Mesh. This is a big improvement, but not as good as a good USB converter like an Off-Ramp 5. With a good USB converter, you will also need a good USB cable and a good S/PDIF coax digital cable. Steve N. Empirical Audio
