I have had the Transporter and compared its digital output to the SBT.. same...I sold my transporter (they have issues with the displays)
however , you can use the transporters modded valve output for a DAC into a headphone system , should sound very good.

AFAIK the AD in the 568.2mm I have is 24/96 , I would also heartily recommend it for its flexibility and I/O options and routing and its great sound.
