Well slimdevices as not big, but I am convinced that the excellent engineering and thought in their SB product -- including, no doubt, the involvement of the CEO with customers is responsible for their success in this space. Paul McGowan gets involved too..plus he makes DACs -- maybe PS Audio's new DAC is my real answer to my backend. Now if I can only get this thing working with my excellent sounding DAC -- that would be great. I really love this thing -- so much so that I still am listening to it through old-fashioned CD players with the cool Squeezebox staring at me;) -- jt25741 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jt25741's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30191 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
