Having read JA's reviews for many years, I can take it that the Ayre C-5XE CDP, which has never been recommended as a transport, performed better than the SB. If JA uses a hiend transport, IMO the differences will be larger. IMO, there are a number transports and CDPs that cost much less than $6K, including the Ayre CX-7e which sound better than the SB. -- mauidan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mauidan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1679 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22301 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
