The lessloss has a word clock for less than USD $3K. the reason being 1) they got no remote 2) they use jumper settings instead of software settings (not convenient) 3) batteries instead of arrays of expensive power supplies 4) not very aggressive on advertising 5) no upsampling to DSD actually if u consider the fact that a used emm labs is only around $4k, lessloss does seem expensive now lolx. -- Konig ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Konig's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8490 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30530 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
