Re: [slim] Two Logitech Transporter SE's (NO KNOB) for sale
I'm assuming the RME ADI-2 DAC is not also a streamer. So what would you use as the streamer in place of the Transporter? A TOUCH or rPi with Squeezelite or . Some people use the Transporter but then connect it digitally to another DAC. *Home:* VBA 4TB (2.5)>LMS 7.9.2>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.4)>LMS 7.9.1>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (ethernet, Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>LMS 7.9.2>Squeezelite *The Wild (no internet): *PiCorePlayer 4.0 on rPi 3B+, hifiberry Dac+Pro, 4TB USB (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpa > 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=110972 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Two Logitech Transporter SE's (NO KNOB) for sale
So far I can't find anything that sounds better than the Transporter. I thought I had it this time. It was an RME ADI-2 DAC. I loved this DAC and some how tricked myself into thinking it sounded better. (Probably a bias thing). So after my comparisons I boxed up the Transporters and put them on ebay. A day later I sat down and listened to my nice new DAC and BOOM...something wasn't right. Everything sounded clinical. I kept turning up the sound but everything sounded boomy and fatiguing. (Cymbals, for example, were very bright). So I ran to one of my boxed Transporters and dug it out, reinstalled LMS and played the same tracks and everything sounded right again. The problem with the RME is it has very poor midrange, which is why I had the urge to keep turning it up higher than I normally play music. (Yes, RME/Transporter were level matched). I'm not the first one to report this with regards to the RME. Anyway, I have no problem with the Squeezebox platform or the Transporter but I do almost all my listening with headphones now and would prefer a USB DAC setup. But as long as the Transporter keeps blowing away the other DAC's I try, I will keep it.

I've decided to change the price to *$250 US* each. No ebay fees listing here so I can pass the savings to you. :) Fizbin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58734 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110972 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Two Logitech Transporter SE's (NO KNOB) for sale
I've decided to get out of the streaming business. I mostly listen to headphones now and I just bought myself a USB DAC, so I'm selling both my Transporter SE's (NO KNOB). Transporter #1: Purchased NEW in July 2016 from ebay's Hotdogtec. In Excellent shape. The display is still as bright as it was when I got it since I used the blank-saver app and the 2nd lowest brightness setting. Comes with all the original accessories and packing materials. Transporter #2: Purchased as a backup on April 2019 from ebay's Onlyonedeal. This was sold under "Manufacture Refurbished". (He sold about 50 of these and got good feedback). One of the buttons (I believe it's the visualization) is a tiny bit further back than the others but works perfectly fine. It's a little cosmetic flub which is probably why it wasn't sold as new. Otherwise the unit is unused (except for testing when I received it) and in excellent shape. The accessories are still sealed. Comes with original packing materials. Both units have latest firmware. Asking $285 US each including shipping to anywhere in North America. Paypal only, please. You're welcome to check out my feedback on ebay, under majestyk. I've been selling there since 1998.
