Which was the actual point of the review -- that, as a transport, the Squeezebox is, for all intents and purposes, indistinguishable from a kilo-buck transport used with a quality DAC. (Moreover, if the DAC were of the true re-clocking variety, there would be no difference. Like many people, I have a feeling that JA had to give some edge to his reference transport because, after all, this is a high end magazine, etc. Not bad for a $300 plastic box. Especially not bad for a $300 plastic box that offers wireless connectivity, access to Internet radio, the ability to use playlists, the ability to scan and use your entire library without getting up from the coach, etc. No doubt, this is why the Transporter will rock. -- highdudgeon SB3->Nuforce 9.02->Harbeth Monitor 30s/Skylan stands and Quad ESL-988s.
