The SB2 and SB3 are designed to beat most CD players in terms of sound quality, and they are priced appropriately, sort of in the entry-level audiophile CD player bracket along the likes of Denon and such.
The Transport is kind of a no-holds-barred device, a chance for Slim Devices to flex its engineering muscles and try out some new and fairly revolutionary things (how many devices have word clock inputs, for example?!? Not too many, and very, very few at its price.) It's priced accordingly. Higher spec components, unusual circuit design, etc. I agree that a speaker/amplifier upgrade is in order or you'd never fully realize the benefits of a Transporter. Sure, there are some cool features like the dual displays, the knob, dual-wireless antennae and a full-bandwidth PCI network card, but the main advantage is improved sound quality - you may not notice a difference with your present setup, unfortunately. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28210 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
