A little surprised the reviewer used Yamaha NS1000M speaker... I think the Linn release will be great for our community of users as it might introduce a whole new group of high end listener types who want the best performance from a network music player. I'm already curious as to how our forum's jitter experts will break down the jitter and distortion specifications listed in the Linn review.
Given the discussions about the desire for a less expensive Transporter sans DAC that could be coupled with a higher grade* DAC than the Transporter, perhaps this announcement will put into perspective the price and functionality of the Transporter. While it would be great if Slim Devices were to create the "slimmed down" Transporter, and one could wait in hopes of its creation, maybe we are lucky to already have the ability to match a word-clocked Transporter to an external DAC of our choice. Certainly the combination should cost significantly less than $20k. *Please note that I am in no way disparaging the quality of the Transporter's built in DAC. I think it is excellent for the price-point. ___________________________________________________ Transporter => ATC SCA2 => ATC SCM 100SL AT Ayre C5XE => ATC SCA2 => ATC SCM 100SL AT -- musiklov3r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ musiklov3r's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13166 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38815 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
