Jeez, in the entire article, the ONLY passage that mentions anything about sound quality is the following, and ONLY the following
"In back-to-back listening sessions against a Unison Research Unico CD player, which incidentally sells for £100 less than the Transporter, it lacked the punch, presence and sheer excitement on offer from the humble disc spinner. Where the Transporter was clinically accurate, and revealed as much detail, it simply didn't project the music into the room as much as the CD player did. The imaging wasn't quite as holographic; the presentation much more laid back."
