I've had a Transporter since 2006 when I purchased it. I also have 2-SB3s and a Duet. My Transporter has NEVER had a problem and I love how it sounds and looks!! That being said, I could part with it for the right price if anyone were interested… just sayin'. Eric Seaberg - San Diego -A.E.S.

I'd almost certainly go with a good async USB DAC as jitter is essentially removed from the equation. So a Touch with the EDO extension installed would be my preferred choice. Although I do quite like those tube displays... Listening Room: Squeezebox Touch (EDO) > USB Hub > USB Isolator > Aud

really, you are much better off spending your money on a good external DAC, and feeding it from any SB - Touch or SB3. i used to want to buy a Transporter but all the spots where taken, and as i recently built my new system (see Pics of your system) i got a Benchmark DAC2HGC (which is superb), and

Hi, maybe i'm the only one, but I wouldn't go for the Transporter! This is why mine died after about 3 years, and of course no service through Logitech! So on the "Low End" side I'm still going with Touch, Classic, Receiver... On the High End Side I switched to Linn. regards carrera SBClas

I have a Transporter as my main unit, with a Radio and a Duet servicing auxiliary spaces. I also have two Touches, as yet unused, in their boxes, awaiting deployment. Aside from sound quality issues (I am obviously not qualified from personal experience), I would say go for the Transporter for

Another use for EDO is USB only DAC's . They are quite common , the idea behind them is to have good computer audio and USB is commonly found on computers . Now you can utilise such a product on a Touch . IMO it is quite silly to not have multiple inputs on a DAC , I like my products practical ie

Thanks everybody for the replies. I like both, but I'm really sold on the cool factor of the Transporter. That's where I'm leaning. The Touch is cheaper (a plus), but not by much compared to it's price before Logitech stopped producing them. Can someone explain a little more about the EDO plugin

Yeah the transporter is high quality , the only thing that would worry me a bit in an old used unit is the VFD displays ( 2 of them ) . But if the price is rigth... A Toy quality thing like Touch can last a while too just wondering a bit about it's display quality . In any case , a hint I many o

I recently purchased a brand new SB Touch at a tidy profit for the seller. It will arrive shortly. I did consider a used Transporter. I think the Transporter has the higher cool factor, but the Touch will do nicely and should sound excellent in my system. I already have a SB or six, so the Tou

It's just my opinion but previously I always wanted a transporter but in all honesty I'd go for a Touch in preference to the transporter. Mainly for the reasons given above and also for possible future upgrades with a DAC and the EDO plugin. Sent from my HUAWEI Y300-0100 using Tapatalk --
