:-) For exactly that reason I use LMS and an SBT: useability. And the quality of the sound is (solely?) determined by the DAC. The Marantz takes the bits from the SBT, buffers them, reclocks them, and does its other magic. Listening to my music is a combination of ease and quality. This combo provides that. Now if the SBT could handle DSD, it would be perfect :-) One big positive was the use of EDO on the SBT (thanks so much to the developer(s)!) unleashing the full potential. I'm a happy guy :-) MacMini CoreDuo, 600 GB of mostly ALAC lossless music (iTunes ripped) -> Black Transporter (analog & digital out), and Marantz DV8400 vM mod for SACD + DVD-A, via Siltech Paris to Harman Kardon AVR 8500 & HK PA2200 Signature -> 6 x Mission 780SE & 78C & 2 x REL Strata III ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Audiotic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5912 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101584 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
