Is this the solution for me? We recommend the Slim Devices Transporter for audiophiles who are comfortable with PC wireless and wired networking (or know someone who is). The Transporter requires a PC (preferably with a spacious hard drive) and networking solution. It also requires the user to copy their music collection onto the PC's hard drive in the format of their choice (WMA, FLAC, MP3, etc.). The advantage of this solution is your music is stored in one location, and can be backed up easily. If you sell or upgrade your Transporter, you still have your music files. The disadvantage is it takes a little more setting up, and a few more steps to copy your music to hard disk. For those willing to go the extra mile, the results are very rewarding.
At the heart of Transporter is a "no compromise" attitude to component selection and electronic design.
Feel Your Music—The new TransNav™ controller uses dynamic tactile feedback to provide fast access to any song even in the largest music collection. The sleek, backlit, infrared remote and dual fluorescent displays make it easy to use from anywhere in the room.
Quality Connectors—Transporter's back panel features a complete set of professional-grade connectors, including both balanced and unbalanced signals for its analog and digital interfaces.
Astounding Analog—The AK4396 "Miracle DAC" was chosen for its high dynamic range and low distortion. Its low out-of-band noise allows for the use of low-order output filters with higher cutoffs, resulting in preservation of phase and reduced distortion in the audible band. This extraordinary accuracy at higher frequencies allows Transporter to resolve the exact staging of instruments and the finest details of any recording. In addition, Transporter's digital inputs allow its built-in DAC to be used with other sources.
Accurate Digital—Transporter's digital path is not only "bit perfect", but also extremely accurate in timing precision. Clock signals in Transporter are handled not as ones and zeroes, but as precision analog signals. Specialized crystal oscillators, careful clock management, and linear-regulated logic supplies ensure the lowest possible jitter throughout the system.
Clean Power—Transporter's DAC and output amplifiers are powered by Super Regulators, based on the legendary design by Walt Jung. These regulators offer lower output impedance, faster response, and better noise rejection than standard three-terminal regulators. The result is an incredibly natural sound, with a pitch-black background and a shocking level of detail.
Transporter is the network music player audiophiles have been waiting for.
Inspired by music. Engineered to delight.
