Transporter technology is approaching 10 years old. A touch can provide bit perfect input into another good (more modern) DAC. (and could also do 24/192 if I wanted that, which I don't....but it would be impossible with a Transporter.) The transporter is in a cabinet, so there is no "cool to look at" for me. I loved my 1963 VW Bug too. But when it came time to replace it, I didn't go looking for another 1966 VW. I love my Transporter, but don't kid yourself into thinking it will cause some night and day difference in your listening experience (or any difference at all if you're using a good external DAC and bypassing the main benefit of the Transporter over other squeezeboxes....it's internal DAC). *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104472 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
