The Linn products are basically the same as the SB3 & Transporter - they are systems for converting data, e.g. FLAC files, to music - not just DACs. The Linns do not have wifi - I understand this is because Linn don't want to get involved with configuring wifi for customers and sorting out those problems. Ethernet only - no bad thing if you want 24/192 too!
I've mostly discounted the Linn as SqueezeCentre is so great! Having to move to TwonkyMedia would be such a downgrade, it would really impinge on the usability of the product. I do expect that the Linn sounds better, but I am happy with my sound. Have you tried an SB+? It's a Squeezebox-derived system that most who have heard them both prefer to the Transporter. It has a few limitations compared to the TP (only one screen, max res 24/48, no knob...) but does cost less. Just a thought. -- adamslim Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others SB+, EAR V20, Living Voice OBX-R2s plus some other stuff SB3, Charlize, Harbeth HL-P3ES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38815 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
