Good enough? I think there was a modular aproach being discussed Wandbord + something ,that something could be Analog boards of all kinds of quality and "Good analogue" can very close to the best anyway :) Re balanced of course a line driver circuit could be used , i think John imidietly thougth of the typical high end aproach with dual balanced DAC's , but for long run's of cable to active speakers even a balanced oine driver would be a benefit . Anyhow a new feature request . Built in attenuators with dip switches/jumpers like the transporter but on both unbalanced and balanced . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881
