I've had a Transporter since 2006 when I purchased it. I also have
2-SB3s and a Duet. My Transporter has NEVER had a problem and I love
how it sounds and looks!! That being said, I could part with it for the
right price if anyone were interested#8230; just sayin'.

Hi,
maybe i'm the only one, but I wouldn't go for the Transporter!
This is why mine died after about 3 years, and of course no service
through Logitech!
So on the Low End side I'm still going with Touch, Classic,
Receiver...
On the High End Side I switched to Linn.

really, you are much better off spending your money on a good external
DAC, and feeding it from any SB - Touch or SB3. i used to want to buy a
Transporter but all the spots where taken, and as i recently built my
new system (see Pics of your system) i got a Benchmark DAC2HGC (which is
superb),
I'd almost certainly go with a good async USB DAC as jitter is
essentially removed from the equation. So a Touch with the EDO
extension installed would be my preferred choice. Although I do quite
like those tube displays...
Listening Room: Squeezebox Touch (EDO) USB Hub USB Isolator
Another use for EDO is USB only DAC's . They are quite common , the idea
behind them is to have good computer audio and USB is commonly found on
computers . Now you can utilise such a product on a Touch .
IMO it is quite silly to not have multiple inputs on a DAC , I like my
products practical
I have a Transporter as my main unit, with a Radio and a Duet servicing
auxiliary spaces. I also have two Touches, as yet unused, in their
boxes, awaiting deployment.
Aside from sound quality issues (I am obviously not qualified from
personal experience), I would say go for the Transporter

Yeah the transporter is high quality , the only thing that would worry
me a bit in an old used unit is the VFD displays ( 2 of them ) .
But if the price is rigth...
A Toy quality thing like Touch can last a while too just wondering a bit
about it's display quality .

Yes, I use the BLANKSAVER plugin so that my Transporter displays are OFF
when I'm not playing something.

Thanks everybody for the replies.
I like both, but I'm really sold on the cool factor of the Transporter.
That's where I'm leaning. The Touch is cheaper (a plus), but not by much
compared to it's price before Logitech stopped producing them. Can
someone explain a little more about the EDO plugin

It's just my opinion but previously I always wanted a transporter but in
all honesty I'd go for a Touch in preference to the transporter. Mainly
for the reasons given above and also for possible future upgrades with a
DAC and the EDO plugin.

I recently purchased a brand new SB Touch at a tidy profit for the
seller. It will arrive shortly. I did consider a used Transporter. I
think the Transporter has the higher cool factor, but the Touch will do
nicely and should sound excellent in my system. I already have a SB or
six, so the

Agreed in spades. IME balanced operation yields far more improvement
than any amount of fiddling about with exotic interconnects or jitter
If used as a transport only , the touch is as good or exceeds the TP.
It's DAC is mediocre , however the Transporters dac is also not the
best thing since sliced bead to some.
The biggest problem using the touch is that its screen is not visible
from far away , so you got to use a droid or

The Transporter is a fine piece of audio equipment which has been
avaible for several years now.
Over those years there have been several newer editions of the SB and
the latest Touch.
My question is: Has the audio quality benefit of using the Transporter
been eroded somewhat by the latest
This has been discussed extensively before, although not very recently.
Obviously the TP's quality hasn't been eroded, but the Touch has
certainly closed the gap between the cheaper SBs and the TP. A lot of
people say that a Touch into a good outboard DAC can produce sound
quality in the range of
