Hi d6jg and pkfox, I agree, if you like DIY'ing then the Raspberry Pi is worth experimenting with. I was able to find some RPiB's for $12 on ebay add a $20 DAC and the results are far better than I could have imagined. I do have a Transporter, Touch, Duet and SB3 and use my RPi's 99% of the time. Without doing a DBT, I would put the RPi's very close to the Touch. I do believe that an "audiophile" version of the RPi could be developed to be as good as a Transporter. This is all very subjective, I could be biased because I help Steen with piCorePlayer! d6jp, I have made hundreds of piCorePlayers SD cards and can't remember ever corrupting one, even piCore images for that matter. I have made experimental versions of piCorePlayer that I unmount and remove the SD card altogether. regards Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104608
