Heard a Transporter at the Sound & Vision show back in February... Awesome.
Sounded better than a NAIM CD player on the same system. Problem is, I can't justify spending £1,200 on one. My current setup, sources first: Arcam DV-79 CD/DVD-Audio player Rega Planar 3 turntable, Ortofon 510 cart, Pro-Ject Phono Box II Technics RS-BX606 cassette deck Sony RCD-W100 CD recorder Sony MDS-JB980 minidisc deck Turtle Beach Audiotron Pinnacle ShowCenter Arcam AVR-250 AV receiver Mordaunt-Short Avant 908 front, 905C centre, 2x 903S surrounds B&W ASW-1000 subwoofer Chord Cobra 3 interconnects between DVD and amp Cambridge Atlantic interconnects between everything else and amp Chord Rumour 4 speaker cable for front and centre Gale XL-105 for rears (buried into plaster) At present I use the Audiotron as a network media source as it fits nicely in the kit rack. Granted, a Transporter would be better for this (FLAC support anyone?) but as mentioned above I can't justify spending this kind of money. What I'd really love is a standard SB3 mounted in a hi-fi component size case with front panel buttons, but without the fancy DACs of the Transporter. Probably be happy without the dual displays as well... just a SB that will sit in the kit rack and look "right" - and be operable without the remote. I've had an SB3 hooked up to an offboard DAC (Arcam Black Box 50) and the results have been superb. -- Squirrel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Squirrel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5785 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34849
