Transporter vs Linn DS players

Has anyone compared the Logitech Transporter to the Linn DS players? The entry level Linn player is right around the same price as the Transporter.

I have a Squeezebox I really like for the conveniance. I would like to have the same kind of access to stored files with sound quality on par with a comparably priced cd player.

On the Linn forums, they are very high an all the DS players. The story there is that the lower level DS players outperform all of their cd players at a fraction of the cost. The general opinion there is that streaming players are superior transports to disc players. Has anyone experienced those players? Is this the wave of the future?

Please let me know what you think. There are more choices than ever these days!
