I don't have anxiety about it. It exists and I recognize it. I'd rather not use a Squeezebox source to send data to a $5,000 DAC only to not get what I paid for if there is an alternative. What if a member asked about buying a Squeezebox source to use with a dCS Debussy DAC? The Debussy runs just over $10 grand, so I'd think that a consumer in that market would want every ounce of sound quality. In fairness, the Debussy likely has a pretty impressive S/PDIF input design. Perhaps the difference between USB versus S/PDIF on the Debussy would be acceptable? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jh901's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18175 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97489 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
