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'

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 talking about audiophiles
here,
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

provide you with some emission.
Considering the reality, I'd assume SD took some care abou

There is a lot of talk here about the looks of the transporter but who
cares what it looks like, we need to know what it sounds like.
Also no true audiophile would ever consider having 802.11 radio

Recent firmware changes have addressed many issues. Not sure what

This is coming. Nothing to do with SD directly, of course, but I've

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.

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 mi
