It seems we are somehow mentally aligned. This is exactly what I want, but the problem is that Transporter connected directly to an Amp is amazing. I cannot audition TACT and have no clue how they compare. Other solutions I am looking into are HK-990, NAD C390DD, Dspeaker Dual Core, DEQX, PC Based Software solution etc. What I was hoping for is if someone can connect their DEQ2496 in a digital loop and connect any digital source to TP to see if switching digital input keeps the loop intact. You have clarified quite a few things, but as you said they are not factual. Do you see any hope here? may be a firmware update request? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MediaCenter's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32623 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94592 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
