Interestingly the balanced inputs are what peaked my interest when I first saw the back of a Transporter. I have always loved my Adcom GFA-5802 and GFP-750 combo that I have always interconnected with the balanced inputs. I currently use an unbalanced Sony ES player input to provide a SACD source, but believe the Transporter would provide the "HD" music desired without breaking what I believe to be a better interconnection solution. -- eeagle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eeagle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35088 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74471 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
