Let's see....$2k and you're saying don't use the volume control cuz it's digital and will lop off bits, and/or don't use the DAC, just come out digitally to another DAC somewhere. Why bother? It becomes a larger version of the SB3 then. I believe a big attraction to the Transporter is it's DAC (some are saying it's better than the Benchamrk...they haven't heard it yet...but on paper it looks good) and it's ability to run directly into an amp. The volume control is huge (pun intended). If both of these aspects are suboptimal then Slim Devices has some work to do to sell these.....IMO, cuz $2k is a whole new level for this genre. -- ted_b ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ted_b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3289 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27158 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
