Great! I really appreciate the links. The SOtM looks interesting... maybe a bit more than I wanted to spend just as part of a "fun project", but maybe I'll save up for it. dyohn wrote: > Exactly.

So, I wasn't missing something obvious? What are they trying to do that the VAMP solution does not accomodate? paulster wrote: > This one is pretty good for a non-async interface.

I appreciate the info on the M2Tech HiFace 2. This side of computer audio is relatively new to me. A side I'm being forced to learn about since my turnkey Squeezebox solutions are obviously drying up. I really like my Transporter, and was even considering buying a spare. But something like the VAMP + SOtM dX-USB-HD could probably do just as good, for much less. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SamS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97721 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
