I mean I actually auditioned few Linn records (?) released as 192/24. On laptop-FW-Weiss this sounded bit more "airy", maybe more detailed that on Transporter. Regarding the upgrade - I will upgrade, once I know that the device is times better than what I have (not by 20%) and future-proof for next 6-7 years at least (this is hard to achieve with digital technology) -- 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
