[QUOTE="Rodney_gold, post: 351157, member: 579"] I comprehensively compared 2 transports - A meridian 500 and a Theta jade to my squeezeboxen , the classic , the transporter and the touch Using a Cd and its FLAC rip , all only in the digital domain. Cueing up the cd via the dedicated transports and flipping between them and the squeezebox into various dacs I have had I tried the S/boxen wireless and hard wired , I used top notch Kimber d60 cable SPDIF from transport and wireless streamer to the dacs..and to cut to the chase... there is essentially no difference tween transports/squeezeboxes whichever way you swing it. I *did* think the flac /wireless *might* have sounded better , but would not swear to that... In theory a lossless rip should sound better or as good as a CD as it can re read any glitches a CD transport might interpolate As far as I have read , the apple devices have some pretty high jitter figures....which might or might not be relevant..
