I have a Transporter and a Benchmark DAC1. I got the Benchmark before the Transporter was released. There is no need for a downstream DAC, just use the Transporter.

I believe my Bel Canto 3.7 dac with a separate power supply has to be better than the Transporter DAC.System - Bryston 3B Cubed(Amp), VTL 2.5(Preamp), Bel Canto 3.7(DAC), Totem Signature One(Speakers)Comment

The Bel Canto 3.7 was a pricey $6000 combo of Dac & Power supply. think they made it until around 2014. Not a ton of reviews online, closest would be the 3.5 version. I think it was considered "High-end" The more I research today's Dac's I feel like there is always going to be something new and shiny around the corner. Not many comparing the differences of a 10 year old Dac compared to today's Dac(going to search for that). Are they lights out better?... or just some new chips and tweeks ? Still gets us into upgrade mania though.System - Bryston 3B Cubed(Amp), VTL 2.5(Preamp), Bel Canto 3.7(DAC), Totem Signature One(Speakers)Comment

If it were that easy, we’d all be running $75 Toppings, and having the latest Sabre chipset would be all that mattered.Originally posted by bunkertoy View Post
It is not that easy, and it’s a lot more than just how new the chips are.
