Very nice stuff. Not at all pricey considering it's an all-in-one unit. The thing is really a fancified audio computer, having CD-ROM drives for ripping, internal hard drives, CPUs, memory and etc. The interesting thing is the company even has its own "slim" device that can run off of a server unit in another room. I could see this having a lot of appeal to non-geek audiophiles who want a self contained unit along the lines of the VRS Audio System.

I suspect there are going to be quite a few casualties before very long. -- JJZolx Jim _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
