I thought Logitech had discontinued the Transporter a couple of years ago.
Does this mean they have discovered a cache of them in a warehouse somewhere and are clearing the stock or does it mean they are reviving the product (which, in view of recent announcements, seems barely credible).Allo Digione Signature (+LiFePo Batteries), Touch, Metrum Jade, Bryston B4 SST2, PMC OB1i speakers, HP Proliant Microserver/Ubuntu, PC/Windows 10, iPad 4, iPeng.Comment

But I suppose there are grey market methods to get stuff shipped to the "wrong" market . get a friend in US to buy it for you and send it to you , but it think there is solutions a lot of other stuff is much cheaper in US ,google I think there are services set up for things like this, but there are of course risks involved .--------------------------------------------------------------------

Wonder how large their inventory of transporter parts is ?
A bit cynical to build products of the spare parts , don't you think ?
In the company where I work we guarantee spares 10 years after the last unit is manufactured but they could be aviable far beyond that in some cases, if possible ( I have repaired >35yo old equipment ).--------------------------------------------------------------------

How good is the Transporter as far as quality sound? How much better than the Touch?

I wouldn´t get another one, especialy since i did read Logitech is not willing to repair any of these after warranty.
To bad it wasn´t cultivated further. This baby still plays nicely all stuff up to 96kHz, has an alternate roll-off filter, is able to change phase, has balanced out and some other nice gimmicks many so called high-end boxes still miss.
Imagine that even the DSD downloads they start to offer now here and there in theory as i understand it could be played natively with a Transporter IF its firmare was offered by a serious audio manufacturer and not a gaming mouse reseller.
To sad, really!Transporter (modded) -> RG142 -> Avantgarde Acoustic based 500VA monoblocks -> Sommer SPK240 -> self-made speakersComment
