I think there is a misperception that rich people don't care about
saving money.
I posit that rich audiophiles don't care about the difference between a
$2000 thing and a $2500 thing.
the $2000 price of a Transporter barely gets into the budget zone of
readers of The Abolute Sound, or most Stereophile items. My Classé amp
is barely audiophile to a lot of folks.
The point is that the OP was hoping for a lower priced, less feature
rich Transporter-lite. I don't think it would be lower priced, as it
would not be lower cost, so there is no point.
Now to speculate, take the Transporter knob and one display, a half inch
thick with wifi and two way feedback, and that would be a great remote.
Battery power, charged like a power toothbrush, and it might sell well
at $300 each
