OK, run that by me again?

 He found that the difference in sonic quality was light.

So that's bad?

 His conclusion is that the transporter is the future for music.

So that's good?

I'm confused - did he like it or not?

He liked it a lot - but I suspect he is in love with his Marantz.

quote: Var kanskje Transporter noe mindre presis og holografisk i
måten den tegnet opp lydbildet? Hadde den litt mindre fysisk trøkk enn
Marantzen? Nyansene var små, og over noen ukers testing var
hovedinntrykket at musikk som strømmet trådløst gjennom lufta fra en
datamaskin to etasjer unna, låt like bra i mine ører som musikken fra
CD-spilleren.

Rough translation: 
maybe the transporter was a little less precise and holographic i the
way it presented the sound stage? Had it a little less physical punch
than the Marantz? The nuances are small, and after a few weeks of
listening, the impression is that the music streaming wireless from a
computer two floors away, sounds as good to my ears as the music from
the CD-player.

So I should have said He found that the difference in sonic quality
was minimal.

Hope that clears up the confusion.

Tom

Does the cost explain it's quality?

In Norway it costs about 1000,- kr less that is about $150. I am
waiting for the serious guys for a test myself...

Personally, I would think that the transporter should be better. 
But then I am biased ;)

It took me less than 10 seconds to open a new tab in safari, go to
froogle, and find that CD player for $2,000.  I don't understand why
people ask such easily answered questions.  But, there it is.

Again, price isn't really a fair indicator of quality.  People can
spend thousands of dollars on components that aren't as good as some
costing far, far less.
