More details courtesy of an archived Crutchfield review by Tara W: The carefully engineered and superbly built Logitech Transporter gives you convenient access to your digital music collection while delivering maximum sound quality. This component-style player connects to your wired or wireless home network and streams music from your PC, including high-resolution lossless and uncompressed audio files.High-grade construction and electronicsThe sturdy aluminum chassis houses a sophisticated low-noise power supply that helps keep sound quality pristine. This player features a high-performance AKM AK4396 digital-to-analog converter that boasts excellent dynamic range and low distortion, for impressively accurate reproduction of all your favorite music.Connections for audiophile sound systemsYou get an array of digital and analog outputs for hooking up the Transporter to your home audio system, including optical and coaxial digital, BNC, RCA, and a set of balanced XLR connections. Four types of digital audio inputs allow you to connect additional audio sources and use the Transporter as a high-quality, stand-alone digital-to-analog converter.Built-in Wi-Fi for easy setup and expandabilitySetup is as simple as downloading the SlimServer software to your PC and adding the Transporter to your home network. The player also acts as a wireless bridge — you can connect a network-capable audio/video component, like a gaming system or home theater receiver, via an Ethernet cable. The Transporter will connect that device to your wireless home network.Simple, intuitive controlsThe Transporters front-panel control knob provides touch feedback so you can feel it move from item to item in a scrolling list. When you reach the last item, the knob stops turning. This intuitive system makes it a snap to select your tunes on the Transporters bright display. Quickly scroll through your entire music collection by artist, album, genre, or playlist. You can even create and save playlists on the fly. Interchangeable visualizations allow you to customize the front-panel displays. Select from VU meters, song information, or even weather and sports data you can stream from the Logitech SqueezeNetwork website.Product highlights:• streams music from your computer for playback on your home audio system• connects to your wired or wireless home network• supports playback of lossless music files (Apple, FLAC, WMA), uncompressed files (AIFF, WAV, PCM), and compressed files (MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, MP2, MusePack, WMA)• works with iTunes, MusicMagic, Live365, RadioIO, Shoutcast and Windows Media® radio• compatible with Internet radio stations• plays songs from Rhapsody digital music service — subscription required• plays personalized Internet radio stations from Pandora — subscription required• AKM AK4396 digital-to-analog converter• dual configurable front-panel displays• TransNav™ front-panel control knob with dynamic tactile feedback•connections:4 digital audio inputs (optical, coaxial, BNC, balanced XLR)4 digital audio outputs (optical, coaxial, BNC, balanced XLR)2 analog audio outputs (1 pair RCA, 1 pair balanced XLR)minijack headphone outputword clock input for use with an external word clock generatorRS-232C port for use with home automation systemsremote control• 17W x 3H x 12-1/4D with included feet
