I would think the upper-end model, the 1.83Ghz Core Duo, could handle

Hello Everyone,
I am ne to this forum. And am probably going to ask a question that has

I will put this up front. I write for an E-Zine...Affordable Audio. I
have a SB 3 that I plan on doing a review on.

You might also consider a Grace m902
(http://www.gracedesign.com/products/m902/m902.htm). It has a useful
feature that the Benchmark and Lavry DACs lack: analog inputs. Thus, if
you have a tuner or some analog other source, you can use the m902
without a separate preamp. And, you can get it with

looking for. As you can see from my signature, I'm running the digital

I guess everyone has a view on what is 'affordable audio'. IMHO if
you're planning on using a DAC that runs to some $2500 and a $650
digital cable, then the Slim Devices Transporter at $2000 would be a
match to the rest of the system.

For $25,000 US, I'll buy one, and fly to the US and install it for you.

I have been digging through the slim devices file type page. The music
is ripped in wav. I have flac set as the stream format and the decoder.
MP3 is unchecked. So, according to this page I have i-tunes properly set
up for lossless playback. Right?
