"A little disappointed" compared to my regular CD player, in my 'music' setup.
Works fantastic in my HT setup, ...but, so does the Squeezebox [lol] (HT has a 5.1 Integra receiver that was rated to be 'fantastic for music' ;-) based on some people I asked around - obviously not those that are crazy enough to listen to Quads or other mid-to-top-end audio stuff) Sorry about the slow responses, but I wanted to make sure the thing is completely 'broken-in' before I post my opinions. Fyi, I've been running it continuously with various material from my readyNAS (as well as the 'natural sounds' > Hard Thunder and Lightning from the internet selections), for over 168hrs. [Had relatives over in the weekend, and so couldnt do much] Essentially - - using FLAC for my music - looks there is very little difference from time=0 and time=170hrs, which was a bit unexpected - I've seen a lot of components that break in and sound quite different 'straight out of the box.' - material ranges from test CDs (eg Chesky), various well-recorded 'audiophile' labels like WaterLily Acoustics (fantastic recordings) to 'somewhat electronick-y' stuff - ranging from Pink Floyd, to Dire Straits and others in that genre, to various classical pieces - mostly from Baroque and Classical periods (eg. Bach's Brandenburg renditions - Trevor Pinnock, and a bunch of other great recordings), as well as some of my favorite Blues and Jazz recordings. I was hoping to put a good list on the lines of 1. What I listened to, 2. What the Transporter sounded like, 3. and what the Arcam sounds like. [My current summary: I think this is a fantastic product, and I will *definitely* buy the MarkII or MarkIII Transporter or something equivalent in the near future - no need for the 'intelligent knob'] :-) More later... -- ziggy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ziggy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8754 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30150 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
