I use the Cambridge Soundworks 745 which accepts iPod (or Squeezebox) via the phono aux inputs. Great sound for a compact unit. I notice the newer models 745i and 765i come with bundled iPod dock. Looks are more functional than stylish - may not be to your daughter's taste. The Bose Wave CD

Go with the audioengines for the iPOD, and source a gently used SONY DISCMAN. I know I have one in the closet at home, so other's will as well. Cheers! Allan. -- alZmtbr alZmtbr's Profile:

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] is there THAT much difference betweeen SB3 ran through quality DAC and Transporter?

2008-07-30 Thread Gazjam
I know the TP can play 24/96 files that the SB3 cant. But...playing regular FLACs ripped from Redbook CD, is there such a great difference? I'm investing in a better DAC (upgrading my Beresford - looking at the Stello 100) and (just out of curiosity) I wonder what the difference between a setup

The link has been changed. I'm actually going to the UK early September to confirm testing of our new remote audio console (the one in my pic to the left). Peter Gabriel owns the company (Solid State Logic) and I'm planning on spending some time with him at dinner one evening while I'm there.

Any decent digital source will sound pretty much alike (the SB3 is decent and from what I understand the TP is very decent). I imagine it would be possible to hear a difference between an SB3 (analogue outs) and Transporter in the right system playing the right recording. But this difference

Thanks for the reply. I'd like a transporter too.. and a Ferrari.. and a 16 bedroom house :) One can dream Anyway, :) I'd be using my SB3 through its digital out into a DAC. I've read elsewhere in t'interweb that theres not really any difference with redbook...obviously playing hi-res

I went ahead and ordered the Cambridge 745i. If it was for me, I'd get the Audioengines (I already have two sets), but my daughter wants the built-in CD player. It looks like a pretty decent system. Hopefully, the sound will be adequate. -- Kyle
