Impossible: there the clock signal is embedded in the S/PDIF, and there is no word clock input. He may have referred to the Transporter, which you can slav to a DAC, but I may be forgiven for thinking that 1700 USD extra for just that is out of the question. Note I don't say the Transporter is overpriced, but that it's not targeted at that majority of audiophiles whose posts I read on this and other, German among other, forums, people who like me weren't born yesterday and all own a DAC already. Were the Transporter available in a version without DAC, without output stages, without additional power supply and regulators etc. - in short, a CD-transport replacement, thus roughly at half the price, that would still be costly, but given the aluminum cabinet, rotary knob, easy handling, nice looks and all, and most importantly, the knowledge one doesn't pay too much extra for something one doesn't need, worth consideration. To me certainly - from what I've read, what most of the people on those forums appear to want is a Squeezebox with WC input and (impossible in the current design) high resolution capability, and all that at little or no extra cost. If that were available, I obviously wouldn't complain either. ;^) Greetings from Switzerland, David. -- acousticsguru ------------------------------------------------------------------------ acousticsguru's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13298 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38637 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
