Very good point Funkstar;  perhaps it would be based around the Touch. 
That would be unfortunate.  The Touch is good for what it is.  The
Transporter is (was) a product geared toward the high-end user AND was
developed by the SlimDevices users in conjunction with SD.  Take a look
at this article which shows how Sean and some of current members of the
SD forums came up with and designed the TP:

"First The Customers Dreamed the Transporter Up..."

Will Logitech develop the next evolved Transporter on their own?  If
it's based on the Touch, I feel failure will be inevitable.  (I
certainly don't was a touch screen next to my tube amp.)

Assuming that Logitech would listen to the consumer willing to pay a
few thousand dollars on a DS appliance, wouldn't it make sense to have a
forum where the current users could give input?

This reminds me; I began a thread devoted to the next generation TP
here....
