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: > DLNA 1.5 certified for streaming music wirelessly from compatible > computers and network-attached storage (NAS) drives Really, when will everyone just admit that DLNA is a very, very bad joke.
