I see. So which would you really prefer, a more expensive TP that pushes the power supply section and the DAC to the limits or a stripped down TP that is much less expensive but with a DAC slightly better then the Linn? On the stripped down side, are you not really describing using a DUET with whatever high dollar DAC has the sampling rates of your choice? I mean, if itÂ’s going to be used for the digital output and you want the Controller with a processor without a display, isn't that the DUET in a nutshell. Suggestion: Pair a DUET with a Dodson 263 Digital Processor. Or push the limits with the Dodson 218 Digital Processor. I have a Dodson DA-217 MK2-D Digital Processor that is about as close to Audio Nirvana as I have been with my Transporter as its source. An SB3 or Duet/SBR driving the Dodson DA-217 MK2-D Digital Processor sounds excellent also. The killer combination that my ears have had the pleasure to listen to was a Transporter driving the Dodson 218 Digital Processor. Everything was present from the fullest bass through the most accurate revealing midrange on to the clearest highs with the only issue being the combined $10,000 price tag. -- iPhone *iPhone* 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/mephone) Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: SB3, GFR-700HD, Thiel 2.3, Second Boom Home Office: SB3, NAD C370, two VSM-1 Home Gym: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, Thiel PowerPoint 1.2 Mobile: SB3, Audioengine A5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57677
