This was related to a bug in iTunes that JA has used in his review. The bug causes a non bit-perfect transmission. More info can be found in the moster Benchmark thread on head-fi.org http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f7/benchmark-dac1-now-available-usb-223006/index113.html DAC1usb is a proof that a usb can be done well but it involves carefully selecting software player so there is always this dependancy to get the maximum performance. The new async usb dacs will have their own clock just like the Transporter and this should eliminate the issue. Having said that the usb is still not as flexible as ethernet/wifi and Slimserver. Slimdevices are years ahead as far as user interface is concerned and I wouldn't be surprised if the big boys such as Krell or Wadia knock on their door one day asking for a license. -- Kiep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kiep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8844 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43129 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
