Fantastic. All's well that ends well. Happy to hear it "just works" as it should. I have the older Transporter as well. The new one is exactly the same guts without the control knob, so you're not missing anything with the older version. Yes, get your CDs converted to FLAC and you'll very much enjoy the resulting sounds. I use dbpoweramp, and although not free, was money well spent. And dbpa has a good user forum and its developer Spoon is very helpful. -- garym System 1: Vortexbox Appliance (1.10) > SbS 7.6.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) System 2: Win7(64) laptop > SbS 7.6.1 > Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.6 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
