Oh, I have my own guideline, it's conveniently short: 1. Try to have as few devices in your audio chain as possible. Every signal processing has losses and you don't get that lost information back, no matter how hard you try (yes, that dreaded second law of thermodynamics affects information, too). I currently have Transporter->Speakers. Perfect. Although it of course depends on the design of the devices.
2. All fudging with the sound should be done by the speakers and I chose the ones that sound best to me. All other components are necessary burden and need to be minimized. Ideally, my next set of speakers has a digital input or even a built-in streaming client - although the latter means you need very, very good sync. That's it. No need for expensive power supplies, power cables, closets, stands or whatever. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101924 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
