Item, regardless if you use CD mechanism to read files in real-time or if you rip files leisurely, with 84 times of read the same spot and to verify the data consistency, the result is very much the same: Sound the I was able to get from computer drive (real-time or ripped) was no where even close to what I was able to get from real-time none-buffering transports. I know a lot of people, not only you who do opposite claims but I do not take them serious. I have over 35-40 CD-ROMs and was trying with EAC to read a CD and to get from the ripped file any acceptable sound. It was not bad but it was NEVER as good direct read from my transport. So, I am OK with what your magazine people are claiming but this is what they do for living – to make public claims in order to shape or misguide sales opportunities. In reality your magazine people are insubstantial fool who themselves do not understed what they claim, but it is beyond the subject.

I do not know what your unit does sonically and it looks like from the perspective of “transport” even you do not know what it does. All the I am telling you that if I buy your unit as “transport” and the see the sonic performance that nay other CD-Rom delivered so far then I would return it to you as I would consider it as false advertising. Your machine is basically is a large a larges iPad but not transport. I admit that my definition of “transport” is very narrow but so the definition of anybody else. If you are willing to name your devise “The transport” then I guess you can do it but it does greatly mislead anybody. Call it better as Pterodactyl as it has as much relation to the flying reptiles of Triassic period as it has to digital transports.
