In case you haven't being keeping up with the things in world of high end audio it now seems that for some reason (my guess is lack of advertising dollars) the Transporter is no longer a piece of high end audio equipment. In addition it also now seems that the only two "sanctioned" ways to "stream" computer based digital audio is via a dedicated laptop or Mac Mini (this is really the only "sanctioned" way) connected to an asynchronous USB DAC with a greater than $200 USB cable. Why this is called "streaming" beats me. My guess on this development is that the vast majority of high end audio streaming music players rely on the worthless DLNA protocol for WiFi streaming and DLNA never works. So a hard (wired) connection via USB is now the way forward (or is that really backwards?).
