George- If Slim Devices would post the Transport's circuit diagram, parts list and pictures of it's insides, I'm sure there are many people on this forum that could see "What could be lacking?" and make recommendations to mod/upgrade it's performance. Since you've owned lots of high end equipment, I'm sure you know, there are lots of fancy looking boxes with very cheap parts on the inside. -- mauidan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mauidan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1679 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26453 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
