Where can I get one? - Nice. I'll put that on my wish list. - Not for me, but it sure is pretty. - Lame idea. Have the SD folks lost their minds? ------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think this is a smart move on the part of both companies. For SD, it starts to address the "it's too complicated for the average user" complaints. I'm not sure what the analogous complaints are in the Infrant camp, except maybe "but what would I _do_ with a TB of storage?" (answer: fill it with flac!). My first reaction was that I wished they'd aimed for a lower price point, like 1 SB with about half that amount of storage on the NAS. But they probably saw the people willing to part with a K$ (that's kilo-dollar) and more for Sonos, Olive, etc. and decided to get a piece of that action. Yes, it's still much cheaper to make an alternative from scratch, but I don't think they were aiming for the 'enthusiast' market that hangs out in the forums. And the real beauty is that each company is continuing to do what they do best, and leaving it all completely modular. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24534 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
