Sorry if this has already been covered before (I am sure it has), but I have been out of the loop for while. Recently I thought that my Duet Receiver took a dump, which got me thinking about upgrading that portion of my system. I have a need for two Players. One through a Niles whole home stereo with about 40+ speakers through out the house. This was where the Duet was placed. The Second player, a Transporter, was for the separate high "Listening" Stereo. Old infiniity Kappa 9's, Parasound AMP. I would like to stick with LMS and iPeng, as it is up and running on my WHS 2011 and it works. My background, I am a reluctant techy. I do build my own computers, and maintain them. Have a BSME degree from 30 years ago. But there are battles that I choose and battles that choose not to fight. For this reason, the Transporter is the low effort move.
Thinking that the Duet Receiver had taken a dump got me looking. I noticed that Transporter SE's are $585 on ebay. But in reading the forums for a while it looks like there are other alternatives. One alternative that looked interesting was to use the Duet Receiver and optical out to an external DAC. This might be a way to buy a product that can then be used later should I LMS no longer be an option. This is doable, correct? If so, what DAC's in the $200-$1,000 range might you all suggest. Are there other options for the transporting the data portion (receiver portion) Are there other options. The Rasberry line had me a little confused..... Do they interface with LMS? If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John_Dumke's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9709 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105788 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
