Perhaps they browsed Lavry forums too much :)

I'm certain this will come if demand is there.
I bought my first electronic download in lossless format a while back,
interestingly from some old hippies, rather than a modern 'with it'
band ;)

Oh well... I have microwave 6 meter away, and Wi-Fi router just behind
the wall - c'est la vie, you can't get rid of 2.4Ghz unless you go
listen to your music into a bunker. If not you, your neighbours will
provide you with some emission.
Considering the reality, I'd assume SD took some care

Hi 325,
IMHO there is a lot of difference between 6 meters away or behind a
wall than something on the hi-fi rack. Also microwaves are designed to
keep the RF in where as WiFi access points etc are designed to transmit
it.
I think it is well to remember that I was

Also no true audiophile would ever consider having 802.11 radio

That sounds pretty reasonable conversion to me, any more and there
would be the risk
Let's admit, it doesn't look on $1999. It looks too fancy and a bit
cheap. SD should have hired someone from audio and not gadget industry
to design the look. Less knobs, buttons, screens - it might also save
some budget.
However, I'm used to the fact that best things don't always look right.

This is coming. Nothing to do with SD directly, of course, but I've
seen industry reporting that hints at this. Some specialty labels and
sites already offer this.
See:
1. More reliable WiFi transmission (not a signal strength or channel
interference issue - see above).
Recent firmware changes have addressed many issues. Not sure what
problems you are having, but you might consider going to the latest
802.11n technology or switching to HomePower or wired

I don't know about you, but if you're like me, isn't the outcome
already determined? You are going to buy one. You just need to come up

Anybody plunk down the credit card for a Transporter yet?
Nope. Hate the looks and I already have a nice DAC, so I don't want to
pay a premium for two displays and a row of buttons that won't get used
and don't make it sound better. I may well go for an Olive Opus instead

I'm in the US and I like the look of the Transporter. But I should also mention that I am not really picky about these things. For me, the nicest aesthetic aspect is the overall form factor, so that it fits in better with existing audio components (in terms of general shape and size). I don't mind

Well, it's all subjective when it comes to the aesthetics. You may
remember
I think the black version looks great...apart from the chrome rack grabs
- they should be black too...
I'll be buying one if/when I can insert my TACT 2.2 between the digital
in and out.

Probably.

I think Carver is the term you're searching for.
It doesn't matter what I think, because I can't afford it, but the
Transporter will look better on a rack than the SB3.

Now, the next challenge is to come up with an interface that is

If the transport has 30-day in-home trial policy (as many other high end
