Interesting thought, However you could check these Naim high end networkers http://www.naimaudio.com/hifi-product-range/579 and http://www.naimaudio.com/hifi-product-type/577 these are serious "Transporter"-killers. They're maybe not worth the price but it would be nice after all to see a new Transporter in the news...beating up Naim and the others ;-) -- banananas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ banananas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42966 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84670 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
