Re: [slim] Transporter or Touch?

2014-01-09 Thread carrera

Hi,

maybe i'm the only one, but I wouldn't go for the Transporter!

This is why mine died after about 3 years, and of course no service
through Logitech!

So on the Low End side I'm still going with Touch, Classic,
Receiver...

On the High End Side I switched to Linn.

regards
carrera

really, you are much better off spending your money on a good external
DAC, and feeding it from any SB - Touch or SB3. i used to want to buy a
Transporter but all the spots where taken, and as i recently built my
new system (see Pics of your system) i got a Benchmark DAC2HGC (which is
superb), and used to feed it with the Touch but as of a few days ago
connected an old SB3 with the original slim devices logo i had in a box.
yes, i know the Touch supports 24/192 and the SB3 only does 48/24, but
honestly i can't hear a difference.

I'd almost certainly go with a good async USB DAC as jitter is
essentially removed from the equation.  So a Touch with the EDO
extension installed would be my preferred choice.  Although I do quite
like those tube displays...
