I currently have a couple of duets and a boom; one of the duets drives my main listening areas, the other is connected to my home theatre setup. I mainly use the boom as an outdoor music deliverer.
I'm thinking of upgrading one of the duet receivers. The options are a Transporter (expensive, even bought on eBay) or a Touch (is it really as good as claimed?). I like good clean music. I generally listen to it through decent mid-range equipment, nothing fancy - good Onkyo receiver, Paradigm speakers (bought after reading an Audiophile mag review). I run a Fit-PC2 (size of a cigarette package) as a dedicated 24/7 music server, and have upwards of 15k tracks, mostly lossless, stored on it. Main receiver is connected via ethernet (this is the one up for upgrading); secondary is used wirelessly. I don't actually hear a difference that can be attributed to ethernet/wireless, which is what I'd expect. I'll never be running an external DAC; I doubt I'll ever use the digital outs; it's possible I'll upgrade the Onkyo receiver and the speakers -- my listening space has very high ceilings, and a bit more spacious volume would not go amiss. So. . . might it be worth it to invest in a Transporter while they are still available; or should I save my money and get just-as-good results with a Touch?
