Hey at least Naim kept their promise to keep the price under $20,000. But $4500 pounds, they have to really think that the Naim name plate costs L3500. This is worse then what Mac is doing with their player which is really just an off the shelf Escient FireBall MX752 dressed up with the famous Glass Mac faceplate for an extra $2000. It really only does one thing that Transporter can not do, which is play the Linn and Naim high bit high rate downloads. Boy I hope Logitech is working on that. The future is upon us and it is not Blu-Ray audio, it is Network Media Servers and the Internet downloads of very high res audio and video. Off the subject, but I am here to tell you that services are coming that will allow one to download a movie or audio of Blu-ray quality for $8 a movie to a device that will hold only 10 moives. One will be able to keep 9 favorites for as long as one wants but will have to have one ready to delete when one wants a new movie, but sure they will let you re-download anything that you have already rented again for just a dollar. Goodbye Netflix and Blockbuster because one does not have to wait for the mail or have a queue. Just pick the movie one wants and watch it on ones big screen not on ones PC. -- iPhone iPhone Last.FM http://www.lastfm.com/user/mePhone Media Room: Transporter, Vandersteen Quatro Signature, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center Channel, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco 710, RAM Oppo DV970HD, VeraStarr 6.4SE Living Room: SqueezeBox Duet, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold Bedroom: Squeezebox 3, Thiel 2.3, NAD C370 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46767 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
