I'd like to comment that I've been a little skeptical about the power supply mod. I think we all agree that the Slim Devices guys know what they're doing and they have developed a high quality product which most of us would pay double (if not more) to own if they priced it higher. Anything lower than $300 is the "sweet spot" for consumer electronics so they probably move more units with their $249/299 pricing. If a different/better power supply which costs maybe $20 delivers a higher quality sound don't you think they would use that? If not, why not? -- zooropa320 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zooropa320's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3420 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20155 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
