So long as it has a 24/192 DAC and can ALSO send 24/192 out over toslink or coax then I would be happy to buy a $3000 successor to the Transporter - particularly given that similarly priced options from other companies pale in comparison when it comes to quality of software interference inherently available to any SB successor. A USB input and XLR outputs would also be musts for such a range topping device. In so far as a $500 unit is concerned: so long as it passes 24/192 via toslink or coax I would be all over it - at $500 I care much less about the DAC inside than its ability to pass a 24/192 signal to receiver. USB connectivity would be a plus. I imagine most consumers in the market for such a device would also appreciate some sort of screen, though it need not be touch. Replicating the UI of the SB3 would be perfectly adequate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ninthsrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57550 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96660 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
