Agreed but if one is only streaming Pandora, which streams low bit rate
lossy, then both the Marantz unit and the Transporter are total
overkill. And if one is going the Marantz unit to stream losslessly from
one's computer, well good luck with getting it and the worthless DLNA
streaming to work:

Really, when will everyone just admit that DLNA is a very, very bad
joke.
