Your opinions on "audiophile concerns" would naturally lead you to that conclusion. Nevertheless, I don't think everyone feels that AES digital outputs, the ability to word synch, digital inputs, XLR anlaog outputs, an improved DAC and a vastly superior form factor constitute "funtionally indentical." At the end of the day, they might sound idential or very similar, but for many people all of the added features are a welcome way to increase the versatility of such a device. I'm pretty sure they will eventually come out with a middle tier product. The Transporter might be silly for most current SB3 owners, but IMO they put out the exact product they needed to bring in a new market of customers. -- Sleestack *headphone:* singlepower sds-xlr at, teac esoteric p-03/d-03, hd650 *2 channel:* tact rcs 2.2.xp w/ full aberdeen mods, bel canto oneref. 1000 monoblocks x 4, classe sacd2, epiphany 20-21s, tact w210 corner load subs *5.1 channel:* tact tcs mkii w/ aberdeen power supply, tact boz 216/2200 (x5) w/ aberdeen power supply, tact adc6 w/ full aberdeen mods, denon 5910, bel canto pl-1a, eggleston andra ii (x5), velodyne dd-15, pioneer elite pro 1130hd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sleestack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25810 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
