Well I've had my Transporter for a few weeks now and I have had chance to hook it up to various bits and pieces and to have put it through its paces.
Firstly the sound: Clear crisp and although Im 50 very pleasant to the ear. Compared to the Slim3 it is without doubt Hi Hi-Fi. Ive have three Slim3s and have been very happy with them, however when you turn up the volume you can hear differences (mainly missing bits) compared to listing to a CD. The Transporter is the same as a CD! I could go on all night about the sound but lets just say its excellent. I play lossless and MP3s (192kbs and above) Build quality: Very very nice! The case, sockets, and even the big knob at the front are beautifully made and put together. The Big Knob is rather strange at first but does not take long to used to the feedback Inputs/Outputs The same standard applies as the above however when switching between the Network and the Optical S/PDIF inputs there is generally a crack! Even when the volume is down the same applies. The Coax input does not appear to suffer from this problem. Hopefully this may be rectified in a software update at some time All in all a very nice bit of kit! -- paulcalman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paulcalman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8269 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28056 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
