There are and will be more players in this space (and some big ones coming - Apple), so, being selfish, I would like to see SD evolve to the high end as it suits its current dedicated audience more. Quite a few users are already migrating up to modded versions, including me, and to be honest I don't need the DAC part of the SB, just the decoder, interface and radio parts. The underlying question is one of economics, is it worth SD's while to produce a transport with new power supply (go on, I know SD isn't convinced about this, but it does make a difference :-)) and no DAC/Analogue out, just digital? Or how about a stripped down SB3, with no DAC, just digital out? How cheap would that be to do, is it a case of just not populating those parts of the board and not testing them either in the QA stage? -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19016 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
