I am running SC 7.01 on an Infrant Ready NAS. I am interested in trying SC version 7.1 since, I believe, Transporter Firmware V40 supports 24/88.2 hi rez files. Can someone explain why no Bin file is shown on the nightly 7.1 update site?? I assume my Infrant NAS can only be updated with a Bin

If the DAC is going to remain 'stuck' to the Duet and NEVER be connected to a computer for playback, then don't waste the money. I've got 6-DAC1s in our studio facility and love them. -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, for me, the repeatable procedure is: update to fw40, listen the the knob degauss. But that's not very helpful to you, is it? That was the case here also. As soon as I went to 7.0.1 with FW40, the degaussing started. About a week ago I gave beta 7.1 a try (with FW40). To my surprise, the
