Rude assertions? Rude against the Benchmark? Get a life.. Electronics is not magic like you seem to believe. It's actually fairly simple stuff. I think you are a bit lost in your beliefs about the state of things. Any competent electronics engineer with a knowledge of digital processing will be able to understand a device like the SB or Transporter. I'm sure the Transporter is very well designed, but it is no big deal to design equally good components for upgrading the SB. So drop the budget BS. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29450 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
