Check out this Slim Devices Transporter mod from ModWright. The tubes make it look great, I wonder how it sounds. This is a $2,000 mod which makes the Transporter total cost $4,000.

The Transporter is re-designed from the DAC output, with ModWright's new Class A tube analog stage, including only a single capacitor in the signal path - MWI metallized oil-impregnated poly cap for output coupling. Power supply is tube-rectified, with two 6CG7's for output stage gain/buffering. 6N1P, 6922, 7308 and 6DJ8 tubes are all acceptable substitutes for the 6CG7.
Volume control and all digital inputs/outputs, wireless, ethernet, SP/DIF and toslink connections are kept intact. None of the Transporters firmware capabilities are limited or excluded and the unit automatically updates its own firmware when connected to the internet.
