Here's an interesting idea. Why not LICENSE the Squeezebox/Transporter technology to high-end manufacturers to integrate into their line of preamps (kinda like how Audyssey is being implemented in mid-fi receivers). It would be awesome to see Squeezebox/Transporter capability included with, for example, the Modwright line, Cary Audio, McIntosh, many others.
I suspect it would be a LOT cheaper for those manufacturers to license the technology rather than develop a similar (competing) platform in-house. That would also guarantee Logitech a much broader marketshare, and long-term viability, for the "Squeeze" platform. My "ideal" Squeeze/Transporter product would be one truly designed as a high-end preamp, with easy switching to other sources, SET and balanced outputs, 24/192 capability, and home theater bypass. mherger;434253 Wrote: > > I am seriously thinking of upgrading from Transporter to Linn/Naim > > solutions. > > Why? > > > If there is a Transporter 2.0 in the works, I will hold off > > until the new one comes out. > > Again: why?
