You should get a Duet or Classic. Given that you are using the Yamaha's DAC, the sound from the Duet digital outputs via your Yamaha should be identical that of your current setup. Plugging a Transporter in the same way would also be identical (and heresy to many here I would guess!).
Once you get the Duet/Classic, you could try comparing the Duet analog outs to the digital outs via your Yamaha to see which you like better. I don't know your receiver well, but I'd bet the DAC is similar quality to the one in the Duet, so this could go either way. -- lanierb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lanierb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5566 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55672 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
