Not a prayer of a chance. My Nikon F camera, bought in 1970 still works great, and I have a great collection of lenses. But no one uses film anymore. In the early 1970s, I was a professional software developer using a machine that had 192 k of ram, was 40 feet long, and cost millions. We supported fifty or so people simultaneously on that machine. 40 years later, dumb cell phones are more powerful. Audio was mature in the late 60s and early 70s, other than source decks, nothing fundamental has changed. The Transporter is a computer, it may work, but no one will care about it in 40 years. As to the subject question, I have no clue what a Linn Magik DS sounds like, and really don't care. I will use my Transporter until something much better comes along at a time when I have the cash to buy it. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
