About Transporter™

Thank you for purchasing a Transporter™ network music player. Transporter lets you play your digitized music collection through your stereo system using your wireless or ethernet network. With Transporter, you can also listen to internet radio stations, set alarms, display RSS feeds, and more!

Transporter was designed to appeal to the most discerning audiophiles and music lovers. It streams digital music with sound quality that surpasses even the most exotic compact disc players.

At the heart of Transporter is a “no compromise” attitude to component selection and electronic design.

The rotary 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.

Transporter’s back panel features a complete set of professional-grade connectors, including both balanced and unbalanced signals for its analog and digital interfaces.

Transporter’s 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.

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.

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.

This user guide includes setup and basic operating instructions for your new player. We are continually adding new features to Transporter, some new capabilities may not be covered here. You can find additional information about the latest Transporter features, as well as detailed documentation for developers, on our web site, http://www.slimdevices.com/.

Transporter is powered by the open source SlimServer™ software, which is the result of the efforts of software developers worldwide working together in an open community. We are grateful to everyone who helped create Transporter.

We hope you enjoy Transporter and that you’ll tell a friend about our products.
