I am sure you are right, but some good HiDef classical stuff is starting to come out, and that is my interest. > > The Stontronics linear supply from Farnell I use is great and about £18 > from memory.

Quad will fit an electrical S/PDIF out for about £50, and I could feed it into my Beresford DAC, but it's not worth the hassle. I was hoping they would launch a new MacMini with Blu-ray (a MacMedia?) - but not yet. So, as I said, it's the interim I'm looking too. I retire from the Army (aged 60) next year. I will see what looks sensible once I am settled. You never know, I might even achieve by boyhood ambition of owning some Quad Electrostatics. -- Labarum Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Labarum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19963 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54335
