I can buy a squeezebox for £200 or a transporter for £1,300 here in the UK from www.ripcaster.co.uk
So for an extra £1,100 I can get a squeezebox with a quality DAC. But it's still got a 35 character display and can't play 24bit 96kHz music properly. Clearly it's going to last about six months and then be redundant. Surely it's madness to buy the transporter when you can get the benchmark 1 industry standard that audio engineers use for £700 that can cope 24bit properly and has ultralock buffering to avoid jitter etc. But all I need a a DAC good enough to play through my £1,500 hifi. I don't need a £700 killer.... just something good which the SB3 clearly is not. Even my father who is 70 years old could tell the difference between my yamaha cd / hard drive player and the squeezebox in seconds - it's depressing. Can someone recommend a shop in London where I can go an buy a DAC and take it back if I don't like it. I am so fed up with buying stuff on dodgy ebay. -- willyhoops ------------------------------------------------------------------------ willyhoops's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35357
