It appears Logitech will probably drop the Transporter sooner or later.
A major part of the cost of the TP must be the case, displays and
feedback knob.

But Logitech still own the design for the TP's mainboard, and knocking
those out surely couldn't be that expensive. I wonder if there might be
a market for barebones TP mainboards? The buyer would just need to
source their own case.

The only thing you'd be missing would be 192kHz capability. (But pardon
me if I say that wouldn't bother me - 96kHz is plenty enough).

They might even think about OEM'ing them to HiFi manufacturers with
better street cred as a way to try and leverage Squeezebox Server into a
dominant position as the server end of things - which can only be good
for their own hardware sales. Come to think of it, they should also OEM
the Squeezebox Receiver mainboard for the same reasons.
