Oh, I missed that. LogiTech groks remotes. Hang in there a bit, per the usual speculation > If the SD remote is so useful, and so audiphile friendly, they should > have done the same thing I've never heard anyone talk about the SqueezeBox remote being very cool. My audiophile amp, from Classe has three buttons. Up volume, down volume and mute. Anything else and you have to walk across the room. > Kinda conflicting story in that the only way to use the included remote > for the stereophile device is to lossy-ly lower the volume using the > DAC, no? (that's what I read it's doing) I'm not following you here. Anything that lowers volume loses resolution and hurts signal to noise ration. Folks tend to run their SqueezeBoxes WFO into an audiophile amp, because in theory the audiophile amp has cooler volume controls, say a stepped atenuator with Vishay resistor networks. At least they seem cooler. Even those mega dollar solutions reduce the signal to noise ratio. Plus, the SqueezeBox doesn't claim to be an audiophile product, even though Stereophile liked it. The Transporter is aimed at audiophiles. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
