But when it comes to Spotify, Naim's not there > either ;-) The thing about Naim is that they offer many complete high-end systems at multiple price levels. They build CD players, streamers, integrated amps, pre-amps, power amps, one-box systems, speakers, specialised power supplies, dedicated interconnects etc etc.
With just a single high-end product, the Transporter, Logitech cannot hope to compete in the same market. A good market opportunity for Logitech would be to licence their hardware / firmware for inclusion in a high-end system such as Naim. This would not conflict with the Logitech products as the two don't overlap at any price point. A Transporter replacement built by Naim would be awesome! And probably four times the price ;) -- TheLastMan Matt *SqueezeBoxes:* SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) *Server:* Synology Diskstation 107+ NAS (with firmware 2.3-1157) running Squeezebox Server 7.5.1 on Synology Package Manager *Network:* Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router, 2 x Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as access points *Livingroom:* Receiver into Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* Receiver into Denon DM37 mini-system, B&W 686 speakers *Study:* Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/Headline.
