Hello, Is there a new Slim Devices Product called "The Transporter" as reported by 6moons.com?
see http://www.6moons.com/news/news.html "July 06: The Transporter (by Slim Devices) - "Today, Slim Devices introduced Transporter [$1,100], the most advanced networked audio system available. Transporter's sound quality surpasses that of even the most sophisticated high-end compact disc players. It also offers a broad range of options not available on any CD player, including thousands of Internet radio stations, Pandora's award-winning personalized music service and Rhapsody's two-million track collection of online music. "The Transporter uses the AK4396 DAC, the newest and most advanced professional-grade converter from AKM. Its performance is remarkable especially at the high frequencies that create the sense of imaging and realism. Hailed as a 'miracle DAC chip', its low out-of-band noise allows the use of low-order output filters with higher cutoffs, resulting in preservation of phase and reduced distortion within the audible band. "Transporter's gold-plated circuit board is arranged to keep digital and analog sections separate, and to minimize jitter through careful management of clock signals. Power is supplied to the DAC and analog stages by three separate super-regulator circuits. The balanced amplifiers use precision polyphenylene film capacitors. Individual op-amp packages ensure low noise and immeasurable crosstalk between channels." >From the photos it appears to have both balanced and unbalanced outputs an IEC A/C plug and what looks to be an XLR digital input and output etc. If this is simply a mockup, it incorporates many good features from my point of view. I look forward to hearing what the real story proves to be. /Daniel -- daniels5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ daniels5's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3969 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25771 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
