Hmm-- I thought highdugeon gave me good advice, and that he was quite sincere.
He clearly said in a couple of places that, in general, an external dac is probably not on a good place on his cost/benefit curve, but that, essentially, ymmv, and that the performance is not absolutely world beating. Don't really see that as contradicting his desire to get a transporter. As far as needing dsl to use playlists, I think you're a little unclear on the concept. You need an _internal_ network to use it, but your router doesn't have to be hooked up to anything in order to assign an ip address to your server and squeezebox. If you have a >1k cd collection and really don't mind pawing through it, more power to you. But most people with that many cds find it pretty tedious. mauidan;133801 Wrote: > From: the thread- How much difference do you think a new DAC would make > for my system, highdudgeon said: > > "Personally, I went though the Lavry DA10 and a Benchmark.
