Yes, the external clock input was a nice plus too on my list that I'm not taking advantage of now but may in the future. I agree a Tranport Transporter would sell big. A lot of folks refuse to pay for the analog half when they don't need it. At this point though the total cost savings to build a Transporter with no analog might save 10%, if that (a few chips and a few jacks) plus the work to design it out. And the volume still might not be large enough to justify it. It might be cheaper for them to just lower the price and include it. -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP5000 'My Transporter Setup' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=350741&postcount=45) 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54947 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
