(See my post #58 in this old thread http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25773&page=6.) As I explained in that thread, I effectively wanted to use a Transporter as a digital preamp, and "I make minor volume adjustments far more often than I choose an album to play."
I would have preferred the Transporter to actually have a separate volume knob altogether, but if there was only going to be one knob, its default had to be as a volume control. I would have preordered a Transporter before it was even released if it had worked that way. Back then people on the forum just assumed that someone would write a plugin to set the default to volume control, but over the course of many years and many products from many manufacturers, I've seen numerous seemingly simple features never get implemented, so I wasn't going to plunk down my two grand until it actually worked the way I wanted it to. More than three years later, a volume control default for the Transporter knob still doesn't exist as far as I know. I have since taken my system in a different direction, so I wouldn't be buying a Transporter today even if a volume default were to be implemented. Thus, Slim Devices lost the opportunity to sell me a Transporter because of a minor design choice that easily could have been rectified. -- TiredLegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TiredLegs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67747 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
