Absolutely - although whether it's the same bit of fibreglass or not is rather moot. Although an external DAC feeding a clock sync back to the transport, should render all transports sonically identical - assuming good design etc, etc. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 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
