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. Since Slim Devices is

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 the Slim Devices 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 in the Slim Devices

community who helped create Transporter.

We hope you enjoy Transporter and that you’ll tell a friend about Slim Devices.
