There is a lot of things LMS does that not even doubling CPU and memory would help with, when moores law give us Touch 3 , maybe :) Don't forget the web-UI or the plugin architecture or the transcoding framework for files and radio . And relatively cheap yes, but they need a serverless player anyway paying for the server several times in a multi room install make no sense . I don't think you actually pay for a server in Touch, I speculate that it was moores law again someone figured hmm just maybe we can shoehorn in a crippled server here let's try.... So a server free Touch 2 ( basically improved Touch ) and Touch 3 with some more CPU grunt ? Or actually a stand alone server , you would not call it " server", to frightening a music base station of some kind ( is not that what Sonos get away with ) no fan room for one 3TB 3,5" drive small, made in cheerful designed plastic maybe in white. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
