Yes I would appreciate a re-test! I too have a friend who has not yet been convinced about computer based / streamed audio having compared these methods against his top quality CD Player. Perhaps music libraries are convenient, but for the very best SQ a hi-end CD player (or perhaps better still a turntable) still rules the roost. We must take into consideration here that the Transporter is nevertheless superb value for money and I doubt a CD player for that price would touch it - it takes a CD player like yours to signficantly better it, which you must admit is not cheap. Perhaps we can take advantage of your reference system and see how you get on with other comparative streamed music applications too, such as JRiver over USB to a high quality async USB DAC for example. Over here in the UK, Linn has completely abandoned making CD players, because they deem CD players inferior to their network music players in terms of SQ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stop-spinning's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96407 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
