Hi earwaxer9. When converting 16/48 to 24/96 what do you think sounds
better #8211; can you describe please? What is an audiophile grade
fuse? Do you have audiophile mains cable in your house too or do you
not need it if you have an audiophile power cable and fuse? What
difference to your sound

I understand that Boom would not be audiophile quality sound. Not
looking for that while I cycle. Just looking for something a bit
better than the iPod. Also want something fairly portable and compact,
so do not want to deal with the mess of a Touch plus a headphone
My Transporter installed today a new firmware. It is now possible to
switch the DAC roll-off filter from sharp to slow. Look at Player -

What I do know about the Transporter is that it can be finessed to
outperform itself. My experience has been that the Transporter
performs the best under certain conditions. 1. convert redbook to
24/96. 2. use ethernet over WIFI. and finally, down the line - 3.

I wasn't sure if he was kidding or not! If he wasn't then isn't it

that super Sata leads, ethernet cables and even hard drives sound

That's nothing. I've been saying for a few years

Yes, it has to be 110 Ohm cable. I recommend Apogee Wyde Eye, these are
relatively inexpensive
Why audiophile quality? You're posting in audiophiles section, not in

Hi all,
I wan to share with with you this idea. I was thinking about an
essential box to connect to the SBS with the following feature:
1) low cost (no more than 100#8364;)
2) audiophile quality
3) Input: Eth, wiFi (optional)
4) Output: Spdif coax, optical (optional)
No need for display, no IR

The display is not unnecessary you need it for easy setup , the

This could easily have been fixed by some remote UI to take care of

You can ignore the fact that it also has a DAC - you don't have to use
it. Internal DACs are far from expensive - the

Well now you're changing the specs (it can be audiophile without being
hi-res). Next you'll say it should be less than 75. :-)
The SBR does 24/48. If you need 24/96 you'll need to raise your price

The SBR does 24/48. If you need 24/96 you'll need to raise your price
threshold or start pitching the idea to hardware makers. Or both.

P.S.: I agree about the cost of the rca socket :)
bluThe Touch handles 24/96 just fine.

Duh, because Logitech is a mass market brand.
They make speakers and mice and expect to sell tens of millions of them.
And if it works, the Google TV/Review will sell tens of millions

I personally did not buy cables more expensive than 1500$ yet since I
