Actually, in all likelihood (and I hate saying this because people tend to interpret "could be" as "will be") Transporter could be made to play DSD natively. It has a DSD-capable DAC, and there is programmable logic interfacing the CPU to the DAC, and it can produce the right clock frequency. But there is really no point because there is no DSD material out there, except on SACDs, for which no feasible/legal ripping mechanism currently exists. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36917 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
