1. yes, same unit, same internals. I control with my iphone, ipad, or laptop computer. I don't ever touch the transporter at all. 2. hard to say, it has higher quality internal components, a very good DAC, and has balanced analog outputs in addition to unbalanced analog outs. Whether it sounds better. Not sure, I haven't done a double blind test. 3. 24/96 only. And the EDO applet for the TOUCH won't work on the Transporter. So max 24/96. 4. Yes, LMS works for any SB players, including transporter 5. you can skip the userid/pw if you don't want to be integrated with mysqueezebox.com (you won't be able to use pandora or siriusXM, etc.) *Location 1:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.8 > Squeezelite *Spares:* several Touch, Radio, SB3 *Controllers:* iPhone4S & iPad2 (iPeng7 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102252 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
