Slim Devices Transporter
Slim Devices Transporter
Price: $2,000

Bring audiophiles into the 21st century with a Slim Devices Transporter, a wireless digital music system worthy of their hi-fi. Similar to other networked digital music players, the Slim Devices player wirelessly links computer hard drives with home audio systems so you can play your MP3s on any stereo in the house. But unlike its counterparts, the Transporter uses a low-noise digital-to-analog converter from AKM, as well as super regulator-equipped output amplifiers that give MP3s CD-quality sound.

Other nifty features include a central knob that intuitively stops at the beginning or end of a playlist, an AK4396 audio processor that filters and improves the audio before it is sent to the speakers, and an Ethernet port and Wi-Fi card that allow you to stream audio from Rhapsody or Pandora.

The device's ultra-high-end components are wrapped in a shiny black or slick brushed aluminum case with an eye-catching electric blue display and old-school dual level meters that pay tribute to analog stereo days.
