I agree that transport prices can get out of control. There are definitely ways to overspend on hi-end audio. And yeah, that's an understatement.
For my purposes, I needed an SACD transport. It's the only legit way to get at the DSD encoded on the disc. It would be nice if there was a universal DSD output for transports, so then one could buy an uber hi-end DAC that handles DSD and then buy a budget SACD transport. I do reiterate that those who have all the hi-end pieces in place (including speaker positioning, acoustic treatment, etc) with the exception of a hi-end DAC to give one a try. I had been considering whether or not to dip into vinyl. After my updrade experience I'm no longer tempted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jh901's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18175 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
