Reviewers can be highly biased towards their older, favored technologies. However, while their own listening preferences may disagree, the claim is well supported by any objective data you care to consider:
- Transporter supports higher quality digital formats, ie up to 24/96. - Transporter is not susceptible to media errors which can easily cause clicks and skips in CD players. - CD player development is essentially dead and to my knowledge, no new high-end models have come out which incorporate current DAC technologies. - Transporter incorporates IMHO the best power/DAC/clock/analog design that money can buy, even including standalone DACs. This is supported by unsurpassed SNR, THD, etc. I'd suggest not worrying too much about what reviewers' listening tests have to say, and try listening for yourself. If you really think your CD player sounds better then you are entitled to your opinion, but I believe that in an unbiased/blind test Transporter would easily outperform it. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38653 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
