Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Logitech Transporter replacement

That doesn't replace the Transporter, as there is no DAC. If you have to buy a DAC, there are all kinds of options. You can ever build a Vortexbox out of old computer components. The main problem is a lack of a screen; but a tablet of some sort can solve that.
