Hi Clive I'm aware of the artefacts that fool the DR database into reporting higher DR, but I can only offer my subjective impressions of owning both the digital and vinyl versions of many pop and indie new releases and the vinyl sounds way more dynamic. Now I appreciate this *subjective* difference means bugger all to anyone else but me. If non-linearity, distortion and euphonic colourations give the impression of greater dynamic range then to me, it's all gravy. I'm not going to sit in front of a another botched production CDrip and admire its technical superiority through gritted teeth.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Start Small or Jump to Transporter?
I have to point out, you absolutely can ditch iTunes and still control an iPod. For instance, there are a couple of perfectly servicable plugins for Winamp that allow control over an iPod. If you want to, you can even change the original Apple firmware to an open source version called Rockbox, which allows playback of FLAC files, amongst other things. -- browellm browellm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14260 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51311 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Anybody bought one (or 4) of these..?
My personal fav has always been Shun Mook.
