Thanks for the in-depth reply, HighDudgeon, especially your comparison tests. I will certainly do some research on the Lavry and Benchmark.
The cost figures are not quite right, though. For $2000 and the special offer, I can get a Transporter and an SB3. So I get 2 systems, one excellent and one decent. Or I can get an SB3+DAC combo costing $1300, plus another SB3 costing $300. Again 2 systems. The total for that is $1600, as you said. But the difference is $400, not $100. Of course, if I dither some more the Transporter special will be over and I'll be looking at a $700 difference! -- Coffee ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Coffee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8198 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29124 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
