OK thanks for all your lovely help in this thread - my (so far) preferred route for the ultimate transport solution (OK not ultimate but best value by far perhaps), goes like this:
Dell Netbook 1018 >> USB 2.0 Isolater (to galvanically isolate the PC) >> V-Link >> Black Cat Veloce >> modified DPA Little Bit 3 DAC. The Dell is a fan-less model, and of course comes with no power supply problem when running on batteries. The USB isolator seems like a good idea from here: http://electronics-shop.dk/galvanically-usb_isolation The V-Link allows the clock to be pulled out of the Dell (via async USB)as reference to my DAC which currently uses spdif. I can't think of anything better especially when the formula can also be seen as: £200 >> £40 >> £100 >> £60 >> £100 to upgrade my DPA = quite cost effective for me and can scale well. -- stop-spinning ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stop-spinning's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84903
