The response from the man himself...  I'm not sure how hard this would be to do but I'm continuing to prod for the enhancement.


This is a hardware/firmware thing, not SlimServer. It's not that it
can't be done on SB3, but it would be a separate engineering effort due
to different hardware in Transporter to facilitate higher sample rates.

Exactly. Two grand = nice DAC and more computer than you could possibly want for playback.

I love my SB3 - changed the way I listen to music at home. But, this product seems excessive.

Um, no... More 'almost' than 'same exact thing'


Specifically:

Balanced and unbalanced outputs
New/Different DAC
AES/EBU digi out
24/96 support
lower jitter
Digi Inputs
Clock Input
RS232 automation support
faster processor
individaul power supplies
rack mountable chassis, dual displays

Tickets are dead to me.  Except the ones I have, don't have, and lost.  Not to mention the ones you have, don't have, and lost.   And the ones that other dude has, doesn't have, and lost.  Let me know if you need some tickets, I'm happy to oblige.

I must say I was in the same boat, but I bought a squeezebox to make sense of the mess a bit, and I must say it is very nice to be able to thumb through your whole collection with a remote.  The only thing I do miss is the 'hmm i haven't listened to this cd in a while' aspect of having piles of discs.

I just like being able to listen to them at home, in the car, and at work.

FWIW.. I can stream my entire music collection via an encrypted SSH port forwarding tunnel to just about any workplace that allows outbound SSH access..

You can encode that stream to any bandwidth mp3 you'd like or leave it as flac if you have the bandwidth.  My buddy works for a library and does the same.  You don't even need a squeezebox for that, just the free server.

But I still burn CDs for the car  ::)
