There is no doubting that the Transporter is a quality piece of equipment. Its combination of convenience and sound quality is simply unrivalled by any other music streaming device. It also represents an important development for audiophiles, bringing the worlds of technology and proper hi-fi closer together than ever before, which is an achievement in itself.
But I couldn't help but feel disappointed in it, notwithstanding all of its plus points – and that wonderful, force feedback knob.
If Slim Devices were selling this for half the price I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it. Even at £500 less it would be just about worth it for the sheer convenience factor. But, in my humble opinion, £1,300 is just too much to pay for an audio meal whose flavour doesn't quite cut the mustard.
