Big difference in price.
The reason it is not on the Touch besides not having room is because the Touch like the Transporter has no need for it. Since the Touch does not have builtin speakers the Touch would not be the correct location to apply a low-freq crossover, the sub should do it. So you would then just send full-range to the sub. In the case of the Boom you are augmenting the built-in speakers so you know where the x-over should be and just output the low freq. Basically what I am saying is a Y-adapter would be no different than what you plan to do with the transporter. That said your active speakers most likely sound better with the balanced outputs. The downside to the Transporter beside cost is the fact that the platform is an aging platform and support will not be as good. Particularly the displays on it are no longer manufactured. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79160 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
