Transporter's biggest feature over the Squeezebox is the DAC.
Also, it is the only piece of equipment I have ever seen that has an AES/EBU digital output that allows me to transfer the data to a really good second DAC(My Audio Aero Capitole) so I can send the signal to two rooms, using seperate volume controls
the Transporter also has both balanced and RCA analog outputs, another plus.
Both run on the same software, and if you are using your own DAC, the folks at slimdevices say the digital output is identical.
There are some hereabouts who have invested upwards of $1,400.00 into squeezebox upgrades. I have never had a chance to review these upgrades; I am very happy with the Transporter.
