Human hearing is adaptive. You do not hear 144db 'at once', but you can hear the micro-details while you adapt to the listening level. Anyway, I trust my ears. If you do not hear the different between 24 bit recordings and 16bit, then.. Weiss is definitely better than Transporter. The problem is that hooking up via SPDIF is not a good idea as it will introduce jitter :-( Weiss works the best via IEEE 1394, as Transporter prefers Ethernet -- michael123 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ michael123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23745 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75180 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
