I was running my mp3's from my laptop (Dell Latitude D810) to my Headroom Little and then to my RS-1's.
Before the transit, and with other headphones and canal phones, if I turned the music off, I'd get static. With the Transit, there is absolute silence.
Other than that, I haven't noticed any difference at all.
Issues: The Transit's drivers (WinXP) like to set the volume on MAX!! when you disconnect it from the USB port and then connect it again later.
This is a bit of an issue because the Transit then outputs the audio at MAX!! and then the Headroom amps from there. So I end up turning the system's volume way down, winAmp at MAX!! and then the Little at medium.
Also- the USB cable they include is LONG (6' or better), so I'll be replacing that with a 3' or so.
Otherwise, I don't notice any difference other than the lack of static and noise when the music's off regardless of the setting on the Transit I use (things like Latency and operating mode).
Also- I can't figure out what Latency is/does- is it the buffer from machine to the DAC?
Can anybody enlighten me?
