Well, I finally got a functioning Transporter and it performing really
well.  The analogue output into my headphone amp is the biggest
improvement over my SB3.

I take that back!  My retailer (Ripcaster.co.uk) were a major part of
the problem.   After I reported the fault with my unit, they insisted
that they had no more Transporters in stock and the fastest route would
be a swap via Logitech European Customer services.  When this was
clearly was not going to be a speedy option, I asked Ripcaster to take
responsibility and send me a replacement unit when new stock arrived.  
They agreed and asked me to hang to the defective unit so they could do
a swap in one delivery.

At least a week went by – nothing.  I phoned Ripcaster and was informed
they were still awaiting stock.    Their web site showed ‘in stock’ and
I began to suspect I was being stonewalled.  The following day, I
emailed a sales enquiry under a different name.   I got a rapid reply
‘Yes, we have black Transporters in stock’.    A few minutes later I
phoned Ripcaster and asked if they were able to sort my problem. 
‘Sorry, no Transporters in stock yet – we’re chasing the distributer and
will let you know’.  I immediately cancelled my order and asked them to
collect the defective unit which they agreed to do.    About 30 min
later I got an email : ‘The new stock we’ve been waiting for is arriving
shortly and we can now do the exchange’.  

Draw you owns conclusions from that!   What a way to treat a customer
who has spent >£1000 on a product.

In their favour, I will say that Ripcaster, when forced into a course
of action, act very efficiently.  However, I’m singularly unimpressed
with their after sales service.
