Ciaran, the only way to get something is to ask for it, and I'm sure if enough people ask then it will happen (in some form). The slim/logitech guys have an excellent track record of listening to these forums and using it to improve their products. The Transporter is a great piece of kit and I wo

Thanks AndreSz for those helpful posts. From what I found on the "Setting Transporter to Slave for World (sic) Clock Input " thread, I had gathered that the half-speed effect might be a problem. I am disappointed that the Delius will only output 44.1 or 48 clocks as well: I had assumed that I wou

If you try to play a 88/24 flac on the Transporter with a 44.1 Master clock, as I have done, the file will play - but at half speed !. The only way out of this is a firmware/hardware change in the Transporter or an external clock multiplier. -- AndreSz -

I have a DCS delius/purcell & Transporter. My standard configuration is to source the Master clock from the Delius to the Transporter. This works well and the improvement is clearly auduble. I have purchased some 88/24 & 96/24 flacs from Meridian, and have managed to play them on my Transporter,

The first Verdi which upsampled was the Verdi la Scala. When I was in communication with dCS in England, they also referred to the Verdi Encore: an upsampling Verdi with digital inputs. At the time I couldn't see why I would want one and it cost extra, so I didn't follow it up. -- Ciaran --

My setup includes a DCS Verdi transport, Purcell upsampler, Elgar Plus DAC and a Verona clock. All the units are connected to the Verona clock and my plan is to connect the TP to the Verona clock, this seems to make sence. Also after talking to the Tech at Audiophile Systems, the distributor of

Does using the Verona as master clock really make sense? I would have thought that you would want the master clock in the DAC for best jitter elimination, in which case the Verona would be redundant in a 'direct' system. It makes sense to me if you are syncing many digital processors (and potent
