I can't see why they would ever do #2... there is simply no USP to it. Also, they don't have the economies of scale of (say) Cambridge - look out for their new DacMagic product. As for #1 - why? - The SB3 is easily outperformed by adding a good external DAC...but is this really true of the TP? - and to what extent? I know some people here are running the TP with a Benchmark or similar (or possibly even more exotic stuff). Also, the removing the DAC and associated circuitry would shave oh...$50-£100 of the parts cost max... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT RCS 2.2X + Good Vibrations S/W - MF Triplethreat(Audiocom full mods)- Linn 5103 - Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables Outdoors: Boombox+Creative Sub (If I remember to turn it on...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52983
