>From what has been stated so far it would appear that the sound quality of the Receiver and the SB3 are pretty much identical. So this is not about sound quality, it is about "user experience" and operational functionality. Nothing wrong with that.
The Transporter is about sound quality. Alternatively, use a receiver or SB3 with a DAC. It is theoretically possible (but so far unknown) that the removal of the VFD and the change in power supply arrangements MIGHT make an improvement in sound quality for the Receiver over an SB3...either as a digital transport or as an analogue playback device or both. Until they are in the wild and have been DBT'd we won't really know. -- 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 with Good Vibrations S/W - MF X-DAC V3/X-PSU/X-10 buffer (Audiocomm full mods)- Linn 5103 - Linn Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Kimber & Chord cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
