Hi, This is the thread opener speaking. ;) After considering value taxes the price difference at a German dealer in comparision with the former price on the SD web site is about $130 or so. I decided after all to get a transporter from a German dealer and will be looking forward to actually hearing it. I know of the listening test comparing SB3 and Transporter. And yep it is a point made here. Well, the test didn't use symmetric (xlr) interconnects. People state that XLR sound improvement may be a case of "louder sounds better" due to the voltage differences and supposedly the fact that there is the difference between two signals not just between one signal and the noise floor that is actually amplified. Well, I will report on this. Using a Marantz PM-11 and Dali Helicon 400 speakers. And as far as I know my transporter will be labeled "slimdevices"? That's GREAT and VERY IMPORTANT! ;) I speculate that Logitech may drop the squeezebox in favour of their own streaming solution and stick to SD-labeling for the transporter? But will the continue to manufacture them? Well, no one knows! Cheers, Jeronimo PS.: If it turns out to not improve any thing I'll just return the unit and stick to my SB3 and perhaps and good DAC. But I just have to hear it myself. ;)
