No, I won't get rid of the Squeezebox. It's nice to have. I can imagine having it hooked up to the computer (a foot of ethernet or whatever) and using it as an alternate interface. I can also see just using it in the bedroom.
For my primary system, though, I don't want to have to worry about drop-outs again. Again, I already have a good DAC. Apple is selling refurbished 17" iMac Core 2 Duos for $849. That's less than half the cost of a Transporter. Hooked up to a DAC, there won't be drop-outs. More versatility, no server bugs, and a screen (with iTunes plugins) with very nice visualizers. Besides, I already have a laptop and a desktop, so this will be a third computer for spasms of ripping CDs. I'm not saying this is great or for everyone; it's just a solution that fits my needs, seems reasonable, and that I look forward to implementing. I can completely understand someone not wanting to do things this way. And, yes, using iTunes means standing up, walking across the room, and typing in a choice. That's not so hard. Besides, I can still use the Squeezebox (what I'm saying is that I WANT to use iTunes, specifically). The only question, really, is about those converters... -- lafayette Sweet Home Alabama ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lafayette's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9022 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31334 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
