I agree in part, but still I think the server / client is where everything is moving, rightly. Naim could have provided a computer that does the ripping, tag lookups, database, music server side, a crossover cable and a 'slim' client that has the sensitive audio bit. Then geeky types like us could use our own PC system, saving half the price. All you need to do is package up EAC and FLAC, MP3Tag, the server, and Firefox, with a UI into a silent PC. Easy for consumers, and dead easy for Naim - you're just splitting the HDX into two. Offers a perfect upgrade route too - Linn Akurate DS users can easily upgrade to the Klimax DS without having to rerip or move swap HDs ModelCitizen;296711 Wrote: > I don't really care what lossless format the music plays in as long as > tags are supported (and I see it supports flac anyway). > > I'm interested how quiet the device is and how good the interface and > remote are.

For me this is essential - I bet AMG is totally inconsistent with Classical music. And the screen on the device is rather pointless, although a nice idea! -- adamslim Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others SB+, EAR V20, Living Voice OBX-R2s plus some other stuff SB3, Charlize, Harbeth HL-P3ES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46767 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
