hi george_k, As a fellow bachelor, I only have 2 chairs in my listening room and the Transporter doesn't feel lonely at all. hahaha. I found my Transporter to be a worthwhile upgrade over my SB3 and CD player. The SB3 is excellent piece of equipment for testing amps in the garage IMHO. Having said that, at a friends place while testing a few SB3s with different power supplies and DACs, after 4 hours of trying various combinations I tried my Transporter. My first thought was, hey this is not much better than a SB3 with a nice PSU and DAC, but my friend responded saying "that this is the best his system has ever sounded". He was very impressed. So I can understand all the differing apparently contradicting views. At the end of the day, you have to do what makes you happy. Just a thought, on my system I haven't found a preamp that "improves" the sound of the Transporter, so I don't use a preamp. NOTE: Others will warn about the risks of doing this and the evils of digital volume controls, but I really like it. regards -- Greg Erskine ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46271 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
