That is actually the P-03 transport which has a separate chamber for the power supply. The 03 also uses more aluminum whereas the 05's is polycarbonate and aluminum. P-03 also does PCM to DSD conversion in the transport where the P-05 leaves that for either the D-07 or D-05 DAC.

Can't do that. The Sonos and Olive units cannot talk to each other, so I need the MS-300 to store the music I want to have available for the SonoS to distribute to my whole house system located on another level.

Jim.......You are correct. I had two windows open when I was looking at that transport, one for the P-03, and one for the P-05. I made a typo. Sorry about that. I have corrected my post.
