The Transporter is pure masturbation on the part of Slim Devices, and a completely unnecessary product. "Logitech" doesn't make high-end stereo componentry! I could see a $599 "Audiophile Grade" product with upgraded DACs (e.g., Dual Wolfsons) and a "class A" output stage. Something to compete with the Arcam CD73, Rotel RCD-1072, Rega Apollo, and other "entry level" audiophile CD players. This was Slim's chance to impact music listening behaviors in a fairly significant way, but overshot with the Transporter. Can't imagine much money is being made here, if even helping Slim break even. -- FatElvis2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FatElvis2000's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6725 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31935 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
