I believe that this is the future for sure. The folks at Linn stopped making CD transports some time ago.
NAS + Ethernet DAC = lossless transport ?
since ethernet is lossless (error corrected), if you stream lossless digital music (eg FLAC) from the NAS to the DAC over the network (eg my Marantz AV7005 is such a dac with an ethernet port (its a preamp) - then isnt the transport lossless to the DAC? And wouldnt that be fundamentally better than any cd player transport (assuming the DAC was the same)?
