[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Suggestion: New mid-market player
Without trying to design the next generation SB4 (which I'd expect would be similar or lower in price compared to the SB3) and without actually _adding_ to the features (which is the wrong direction if you wish to lower the Transporter cost) my suggestion would be: - Transporter quality electronics and internal power supply - Single display - No knob or other buttons - (possibly) Lose the balanced outputs and perhaps some or all of the digital input connections - Simple, but nicely finished all steel case with aluminum front bezel That should easily be doable for $800 to $1000. My feeling is that the Transporter's $2000 price tag was somewhat arbitrary, although I realize that it pays for the RD and production startup costs that can be quite high for a small company. This is true of pricing on most boutique audio gear. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31935 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Which DAC chip is used by the Lavry DA10?
The Lavry DA-10 also has volume control. It has an up/down toggle switch that controls the volume over (I believe) a 60 dB range. The volume is displayed on an LED at the right of the unit. I leave mine set in the low 40's and then control the volume from there with the SB3 remote. That leaves me generally using the top one-third of the SB3 volume range which is safe no-bit-loss territory. However, I also have a DVD/CD player plugged into the optical input of the Lavry and there is more than enough volume control range on the Lavry itself as a controller for that player. That said, I'd prefer a more traditional volume knob for aesthetic reasons but the switch arrange is more than functional. -- mlsstl mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31949 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: plug-and-play linear PS (part one)
Adding resistance (or impedance) between the psu and the load (ie squeezebox) is bad because it means the the voltage seen by the load will vary with the current it draws creating voltage noise. (As the current draw changes, so will the voltage drop across any impedance between psu and load) If the psu was directly powering some audio circuitry, one would typically try to eliminate as much impedance as possible. However, in this case, the squeezebox has an internal psu, which imho will do a good job of removing any noise on the external power input. -- bludragon bludragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1530 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31971 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

If you are handy with a soldering iron the DA-10 manual includes instructions on wiring the XLR--RCA cables yourself. But that destroys the balanced cabling. There is a reason that all professional studio gear uses balanced wiring (and XLR connectors). If you are spending a grand for a DAC, be it a Lavry, Benchmark or Transporter, use the XLR. Real amps accept balanced input. Of course, using balanced input makes mega dollar interconnects irrelevant. For the price of some interconnects, you could buy any of the above wonderful DACs. For the price of _some_ interconnects, you could buy all three and some Quads or Maggies.

It is a close call, but after almost a week of listening, I think it actually a shade better than the Transporter. It is not rude, as long as you gave it a fair comparison. Its a matter of opinion, and audiophiles tend to disagree on sonic quality. I'm not convinced that my Transporter sounds better than my Benchmark DAC-1/SqueezeBox. I'll probably not use the Benchmark, just because the Transporter is cooler looking (better WAF) and too close in sonic quality for me to be confident that I'm really hearing it.
