I was definitely drooling when first spotted the 'Transporter' but $2k for a new Slim box that still only does audio? EK! :)
I'd been wishing for a while that Slim would do a full media player with video support as there interface just out does pretty much anything I've seen but at $2k with 'only' audio support seems a bit much. If it maybe had a built in harddisk so could be run without a separate server or even act as the slimserver for the rest of the house as well as being a kick ass high level player then maybe... I don't like the SB3 styling so at least if my SB2 dies I have another SB option that looks good (but at a premium! ;)!. Not convinced by the DAC either, it seems a common 'mistake' (IMO) by many companies that someone who'd be willing to pay for something this high end, that could actually make use of some of the lovely high end sockets and other features doesn't already have a big investment in DACage! I hate to think of the amount of unused DACs/Scalers etc in my current system (and it's not really audiophile!), probably enough to buy a Transporter or two. ;) But yes it's a very nice piece of kit and I'd certainly consider it for a pro install, the outputs/inputs would certainly go well with studio/live gear, again if it had a built in server it would be even better suited to this. -- ailean ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ailean's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25810 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
