Oh gosh, I find myself agreeing with Harmonic, what's going on ?!?! I haven't heard a Klimax DS but Linn's record (sorry) in digital replay is excellent. I recognise that it might be euphonic and less accurate (might being an important word here), but they have a lot of history that Slim Devices don't have. This is not a dig at the Transporter - a truly remarkable device, sure, but I think it would be folly to consider it the best possible, ever. I do disagree with the upgrade side though - I've never liked the way that you get suckered into an ongoing upgrade path with Linn and Naim that promises smaller and smaller improvements. A good business model for them, sure, but I'm quite happy selling my old stuff to buy new, if that's what I want; this also allows me to step back and consider other manufacturers without thinking about the potential lost investment in the old kit.
