I realise that this is the 'audiophiles' private forum inhabited by dealers, modders, latest gizmo geeks and assorted folks with hearing obviously as sharp as their acerbic wit. Seriously though, a lot of very very fine comments, (or was it hair splitting?)....but of devices clearly at the 'top end' of the 'transport/DAC' food chain. For some folks, knowing that you're somewhere 'up there' on this food chain is sufficient.
Going back to a posting by High Dudgeon: "The Transporter is certainly a luxury item in a few ways. Instead of several boxes, you have one box. Instead of a voided warranty, you have a valid warranty. Aesthetically, it is very nice, and that is worth quite a bit to some people. My wife thought that the SB3 and Lavry looked geeky and out of place in our living room. She was right. She thinks the Transporter looks elegant and cool (her words). She is right." I have to agree. So too would my wife. I still remain kinda 'geeky' when it comes to putting together computers, but a long time back I stopped using the soldering iron on the Hi Fi stuff. (although I have to admit to a little quickening of the heart when I check out the 'back of panel' wiring. Included in the will will have to be the wiring instructions). I got the TP about 2 weeks ago. Hand carried by my wife from the US to China. An act of faith I suppose, since it's not so easy to return from here. But so far, I've been just delighted. Elegant and cool. Absolutely. Wife appeal counts too you know. Sounds great, AND it plays the Beeb here in Beijing. Thanks for the fascinating posts!
