The UK pricing was announced at the product launch several weeks back.
It's pretty much the same as the US price at £1299 including VAT.

My first post here so be nice,
- or not ;)
I've seen many here having SB3 + DAC1 + maybe a preamp.
In that comparison, this one is cheap.
So let's await how it sounds.
But, to me this is an important device, it is one of the first preamp
that uses stored files as input instead of digital
After some reflection, Transporter doesn't 'do it' for me. It is an
over-priced monolithic design. You shouldn't have to pay $2000 to get
24/96 digital output.
At that price point it is a bit like buying a TV with a VCR built in.
I just want my multiple sb3s to be able to send digital output
The firmware never was open source.

If Transporter sounds better in your system then it will be worth the
money to those who take the sound so seriously that they throw loads of
money at achieving their nirvanha. If you don't have a pretty high end
system the chances of you noticing the difference between it and a SB3
are virtually
Can someone explain to me in non-audiophile terms what makes the various
features of the Transporter so desirable, because it's hard for me to
understand what people are getting (besides a knob).
The simplest answer I can give is that music is an amazingly powerful
thing that can bring huge
OK, I'll try this one.

Well sure, the transporter will play 24bit-96kHz files, but will there
be any noticeable difference between this and a 24bit-48kHz file, which
the current SB2 SB3 already support?

I'm sure about worth, but as a consumer of relatively high end audio
gear, this is my take:
For the sake of making the point, my 5.1, 2 channel and heapdhone
setups, collectively cost me well over $200K. I'm not sweating $2K for
a Transporter or 2.. or maybe even 3. That's just the truth.
Yes, I believe that the transporter is worth $1700 more.
The reasoning behind this claim is this: My experience with hi-fi is
that to get a real improvement in sound quality is to replace the unit
in question with something that cost ten times as the old one.
Based on this theory (should that
