If you own a high performance DAC and are looking for a matching CD transport, then you might be disappointed to find a lack of medium to high-end CD transports on the market today. Much of this is due to the demise of the optical pick-up; many current machines use plastic mechanisms in place of the robust die-cast types of yesteryear.

Our search for a high performance transport led us on a different path, the Network player, which dispenses with optical drives by using the hard drive on your computer. The idea of a computer based front-end getting close to the sounding quality of a £5K CD transport had us sceptical to say the least. Several weeks on with our modifications for the Squeezebox Transporter we were more than convinced that this player could not only match a high-end optical transport, it could better it.

Our modified Transporter has been developed to get the most from the digital output when used with an outboard board DAC, but will also provide major improvements via the L/R analogue outputs. The upgrades provide major improvements to the AC supply line, clock system and digital output to deliver state-of-the-art streaming music.

Prices start at £1731.64 (ex VAT) for the Transporter with digital 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 ‘signature’ 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.

‘Signature’ Upgrade

For the Signature upgrade we install the Super-Effect Bybee Purifiers. The Super Effect Purifiers are installed on the AC power rails between the IEC inlet and power supply. These are the same SE Bullets as used in the $4995.00 Bybee AC Power Conditioner. With the Super Effect Bullets the sound has a palpability, presence and 3D quality, music flows in a coherent manner, is more intelligible, making long term listening effortless. The Super Effect Bullets are described in more detail by Bybee Technology (see Golden Goddess 'Super Effect' Speaker Bullets, MSRP: $4,200) If you would like assistance with your selection of upgrades please contact us.

Pricing for full player options available soon, please contact us for details.
