Transporter.. the dual screens are awesome, the controls are nice if you want them. Balanced otuput if you get an integrated or direct to amp that support it. It's too bad the M5 doesn't support balanced :( Either option will do high-res files. I don't _think_ the SB3 will down-sample 96khz to 48khz for digital passthrough. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35775 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
