CrazyD seems a little touchy to me.
That being said, sorry dude but I still disagree with you. I'm using a top of the line Wadia DAC as well as a top of the line Esoteric DAC. And I flat out dont believe that yours can outperform mine. Not gonna happen. I've done plenty of research into the merits of both ways of doing digital. (my list of qualitative experience so far includes dCS, Weiss, Esoteric, Wadia, EMM Labs, Meridian, BAT, PS Audio, Zanden, Chord, Primare, Accuphase, Levinson, Music Fidelity, Krell, Oracle, and so on.)
And dont go gettin snippy with me acting like I dont know what I'm doing. I am absolutely aware of the real trade offs between single box units and seperates and I have yet to find a single box unit of anything that can outperform a very good seperate.
And I didnt just throw some battery packs together. It was a well thought out process. And guess what, I wouldnt bother mentioning it if it didnt work best.
Bottom line is that none of your mods is that complicated. I know a 16 year old kid who knows enough about electronics to do the very same part swapping that you do.
That isnt so say that your service isnt valuable. It certainly is to anyone who either doesnt have the knowledge or the desire to do it themselves.
I certainly do have the experience and knowledge and I have found that my way is perceivably better. And I chose to write about it in this forum.
You are free to sell your wares just as much. But you make a mistake in acting like I dont know what I am talking about.
Good luck with your business.
Everyone else with a desire to improve on their iTransport owes it to themselves to research all the options including Emperical Audio's very different solution.
