I've been a long time member of Head-Fi and I can understand why the "Sources" categories (e.g. Dedicated Source Components and Portable Source Gear) contained primarily DACs with a smattering of players/transports in the past. The truth is, there just weren't that many player/transports in the wild. That has changed in the last year or so with not only numbers of DACs literally exploding on the scene, but we are now being treated with the introduction of more and more portable and full size Digital Audio Players, Digital Transports, and Network Streaming Players.
Might I recommend separating the DACs from the Player/Transports? I'll let you argue over which should actually be classified as a "source" although IMHO, a DAC can't function without a digital signal from somewhere...even a (dare I say it?) source...
Just a suggestion to make navigating the different component threads a little easier...
Cheers and All the Best!
