I still need to go through all the settings and see which one I like best, for now I am use to seeing the song title, artist and album info. The more I listened lastnight the more I enjoyed the slight enhancements in sound, nothing IMHO to throw out the SB3, but just a bit more clarity at low level volume and again the bass has a little more bottom to it while still being tight. I sure some of this may be the new toy effect, but I made sure I listen to my normal sources (Pandora and my own ripped collection). Pandora sounded very good I thought until I switched over to my own collection and WOW, Pandora sounded more like what it is, A lower bit source. Most of my collection is ripped in 320Mp3 (makes it easy to transfer music to my vehicles, since I have yet see/heard a car unit that support Flac format) A few songs ripped in WAV format.

I am impressed with the analog output/built in DAC and may be looking to compare the Transporter and Touch in a analog battle. But this unit, Smaller than I expected, fits nicely on top of the piano with the EQ and AMP hidden behind out of sight. I think our guest will be impressed also this weekend, not only with the aesthetic look, but the rich smooth sounds coming from those bargin hunters dream Fluance speakers. They will be filling the living and Dinningroom with mellow sounds of soulful christmas tunes and Neo Soul. I don't think I could get away with my growing appreciation of classical music just yet, but I'm sure I will sneek in some old school Miles Davis.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all
