I don't doubt the CEO believes what he is saying, I just don't think it sould be taken as general gospel. I believe an SB3 with a few hundred dollars worth of mods should be able to compete with any high end transport (as a transport!). So if you don't need the analogue out, etc, etc, it makes perfect sense to modify an SB3. I have to admit that the Transporter doesn't tempt me for a number of reasons, and I'd much rather go the modified-SB3-route. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26337 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
