I have also recently acquired a Transporter after being really impressed with owning a SB3 for one month. The setup and first short listening all appeared to be ok but when some serious listening started the troubles started for me too. It appears that after a sustained period of time, typically 2 hrs the TP either falters and stops playing with a blank screen, or the front panel and remote fail to respond although the music stream continues until the end of the track/album. Curiously, sometimes, even when the TP stops playing and reports it cannot connect to slimserver, the slimserver interface on the PC still reports the TP as connected and playing and my Netgear router reports it as a connected device. I have also had problems with the TP failing to see the wireless network after a period of time with repeated dropping of the network connection. The only solution I have found for all these issues is to power the TP down for 5 mins and then power the TP back up where it will play faultlessly until the next time. I have encryption for the wireless network turned off, firewall and anti virus off and tried both XP and SUSE OSs running slimserver all with the same result. I have no Microwave or other RF devices and the only other neighbor is away on Christmas holiday so I dont buy the idea of RF interference. I am using wireless out of necessity but have a SB3 in the same room which does not suffer any of the TP problems. I have even synced them together inputting into A and B inputs to my amp and when the TP fails the SB does not glitch. I would love to have a better sounding device than the SV3 (although it is pretty good) but IMHO the TP has been released in a Beta form and regardless of DAC quality cannot be considered to be fit as a consumer device. If anyone can offer suggestions before I return the TP under my suppliers 30 day return policy I would be very glad to hear them.
