Thanks for all the replies! I got the Squeezebox originally b/c I didn't want to hook up a PC to my system, but still wanted to port my music which are in my hard drive. It was an impulse purchase; had I known that I'd be ending up spending this kind of money, I would have gone for the Transporter, no doubt, to match the sound quality of the rest of the components.
Phil: I think you make a great deal of sense. Rather than spending $3K on a CD player, maybe I should build myself a server? But doesn't a good CD player still beat the sound quality of FLAC or some other lossless from the media server hooked to the system? That's probably the only reason why I'm opting for the CD player. Sound quality is what matters for me, and if the SQ doesn't suffer, I'd gladly build a media server for myself! So, I guess the question is: Transporter vs. media server hooked directly to the amp via an upgraded soundcard.... any opinions/recommendations? -- selfdivider ------------------------------------------------------------------------ selfdivider's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14941 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42020 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
