Sorry, I meant streaming transport (without a DAC) as opposed to CD.
They effectively do actually make streaming-only transports but only acting as a source for an Exakt system, and not using the good old digital protocols (over AES/SPDIF/USB etc.) required by the Devialet. The DSM range have digital-outs useful for Devialet but they also have DACs with analogue-out and pre-amps included which is not really helpful for us.
Just been reading about the newly-announced Linn DS models/upgrades - it's getting very confusing!
