ps. I can tell the difference between a poor digital transport connected via an optical lead, and a good one connected by coax. Last year I replaced my high quality (but early and buggy) DVD player with a cheap recorder. I was convinced that they'd sound identical played through the same external DAC.
It took me about a week to work out that I just wasn't enjoying the music any more. The soundstage was flat and it was hard to pick out individual instruments. One used, high-end universal player from Ebay later, normal service is resumed. The Squeezebox sounds pretty good too :) -- AndyC_772 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33146 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
