The Squeezebox Transporter is the top line network music player from Logitech. It is more than just a bigger, better version of the SB3, a serious attempt has been made here to aim this box at the high-end user. Much of what you pay for with the Transporter is in the analogue power supplies and analogue stage, the likes of discrete regulators, AKM DAC’s all go to clock up the costs to £1400.00. Compared to the current crop of CD players at this price, the Transporter as a complete package puts is a good fight but is not enough to make you pack your CD’s away in boxes!

Having read the manufacturers blurb that this box of tricks would equal a £3K CD transport we had to give it a serious listen, and we are so glad we did so. For it is when the Transporter is partnered with high-end DAC that it truly shines. We were surprised and excited as to how close the Transporter got to a £3K CD transport hooked up to a high-end DAC, certainly too close to be ignored. This was all the prompting we needed to set the task to elevate the sound, we knew it was capable of more and the results exceeded our expectations. The auction is for the modification only and does not include the Logitech Squeezebox Transporter which must be purchased separately.

After extended listening we felt that the Transporter lacked the refinement, poise, solidity of a similarly priced optical CD transport. Music through the Transporter also carried a higher noise floor, and was prone to digititis depending on the recorded material. However, is showed strengths in other areas, and it became clear that this player could be transformed to world class with some innovative upgrades. With 1-2 months of researching upgrades behind us the optimum paths were decided, with primary focus on reducing AC noise, improving the speed and lowering the noise of digital supplies, removing clock jitter, improving noise filtering, improving the quality of digital signal.

Prices start at £541.00 (ex VAT) for the level-1 upgrade which ticks all the boxes in getting the fundamentals done right, low noise wideband supplies, ultra-low jitter and direct improvements to digital signal and connections. The level-2 upgrade is the tour de fort and will convert even the hardiest CD spinners to ‘lossless’ with a sublime sound and flexibility from your music collection like you’ve never experienced.
