This thread is shot anyway (oh look, yet another thread on the SlimDevices Audiophile forum that has deteriorated into brain-dead argument, well I never)...... Apart from the speakers your kit is very similar to what I used to have... and it worked very well (for me). Before I got the Transporter and got very tired of thinking I needed yet another black (or silver) box and associated cable I had Naim kit and SB3 with Perpetual Technologies DAC and Upsampler/Digital Correction Unit (P1-A?) and Monolithic PSU. The PT stuff was the nicest sounding DAC I found to fix to the SB3. I "upgraded" to a Benchmark DAC1 after that but never liked it very much (clinical, exact, hard and cold). I tried a few others too but the PT was defintely the best sounding (for me). I've now fed up of having large numbers of hifi units and have attempted to obtain the best sound (to my ears) out of the fewest units (with least wires). This knocked Naim, with their annoying adhesion to DIN plugs and seperate PSUs out of the equation. Shame really as Naim stuff really does seems to sound better than anything else. PRAT I think it's called... a very exasperating tla. --------------------------------- Sentimental? No. I have a lot of Naim stuff for sale and also a Perpetual Technolgies P-1A. Oh, and a black Transporter too (my new amp is silver). :-) MC -- ModelCitizen Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
