I didn't mean to diss Sonos, but they are a pre-existing product from a private company that has had the good fortune to not get sold to a number-crunching mass marketer. I strongly suspect that if Logitech had acquired Sonos, they would have met a fate similar to Squeezebox.
Other than high-end manufacturers taking the occasional stab at an overpriced player with a host of limitations, there doesn't seem to be too much new activity in the player world. That was the basis of my comment about the state of things for music-only players. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100948 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
