Hi Sean
This is exciting news about your new product! I am very keen on the
transporter, but would like to know the quality/character of the audio
it produces. Different DAC's have different sounds based on the design
of their audio circuts, and not only the DAC chip that is used.
What does the
I'm assuming that there will be some type of ultra high-end power cord

server will get plenty of bake

Transporter price, charged separately when

However, I don't think I could point to some existing DAC on the market
and say it'll sound like that. The thing is, not only is this a new

Congratulations to the Slim Devices team for the new Transporter design.
It looks to have addressed many of the requests and suggestions that
have been aired here and elsewhere.
As for the price, though it may be out of the range of a large segment

Sean, you sure did a great job with this unit. At the price piont I
