I can't imagaine we will see a transporter #2, the market for £1000
streaming network players is very small. While Meridian, Naim and others
can charge premium prices for streamers, it doesn't seem to fit the
Logitech biz model, and I am not sure the Logitech brand name would
support that level of pricing ex the loyal Slim following. The
transporter does give the rest of the Slim range audiophile credibility,
and there is value in that, but why design a new model?    

The world has moved on in the 9 or so years that Slim have been around.
I do think the real challenge for logitech streaming media will be
video, and with products like the HDX1080 being given away (I don't know
how they make the box for the price they charge, let alone put anything
in it) it is going to be a tough battle. 

Having said that, the Boom is clearly a quality product at a reasonable
price so perhaps there remains a growing market for audio only streaming
media.

IMHO.
