Though I do 90% of my listening now through the Transporter, I would find it difficult to live without a CD player for those occasions when I have a CD (or a pile of CDs) in hand and want to listen right now. You can't have a friend over with 10 new CDs and expect to have an enjoyable listening session while you sit and rip all of the CDs.
So I still have my original Rega Planet CD player for CD listening. I've tried using it as a transport, with the Transporter as DAC, and frankly, the experience *sucks*. Switching between inputs on the Transporter is a royal pain the ass, _when_ it works. Why they couldn't have put a simple hardware input selector switch on the thing I'll never understand. I suppose it's a matter of repeating what you know - if you know how to do everything in software, then you produce a device in which everything is attempted in software. Unfortunately, even if it were bug free, it's not very convenient. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42020 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
