Thanks Phil - you always seem to be around to answer questions quickly. I wasn't referring to the internal DAC of the SB per se, more how the SB acts as a transport and thus feeding a clean signal out to an external DAC of any type, be it one that compensates well - or older DACs (which I would like to experiment with) which may not compensate so well. So, in essence, how good is the SB as a transport? Is it as good as any other hi-end CD transport - or perhaps better because there are no moving mechanical parts to consider.
On the flip side - perhaps the SB Duet is not high enough up the food chain for the Audiophile in stock form. See here's this link I am concerned about: http://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/showthread.php?tid=7730&page=1 with this reference 'I got a Logitech Duet when they came out and tried it with Numerik D/A and somewhat surprisingly, it sounded totally crap compared to a Karik CD player feeding the same Numerik D/A; in fact, the Duet also sounded crap compared to a Sonos feeding the same Numerik D/A, so it's clear that they have got something very wrong in the Duet' -- stop-spinning ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stop-spinning's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84903 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
