If your DAC has a word-clock output (Master), and you hook it into the Transporter's word-clock input (Slave), you will have a system that is far more "immune" than any SPDIF-based or AES/EBU-based system. Many high end companies such as dCS, EMMLabs, etc offer this type of architecture. > Which takes one back to using the Transporter and a very high dollar > DAC, or modding the Transporter.

It is positioned as an "audiophile music server". -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28246 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
