<Rant> Sheeze, Cut SilmDevices some slack here. First of all SB is a fairly new product. Secondly, having a problem with a main component like the Digital Out circuit is not something that can be fixed overnight. My programming background started in Digital Circuit Design, so I do know what I'm Talking about. The IC Mfg. may not even know why their chip is acting like it does, it will most likely take months to figure out why the defect exists, several more months to come up with a proposed solution, several more months to create the test chips... You see where I'm going with this. I don't think that the chip is flashable so you need the time to make the new masks for the fabrication process. My educated guess is that if the mfg announced today that they knew why the defect exists and they were going to start the work of re-doing the chip it would be close to a year before the chip was on the market. Digital Circuit Design IS darn near Rocket Science. </Rant>
Now, I agree with Carl Maskelyne. I got my SqueezeBox so I could have Internet Radio, and all my tunes any where my WiFi reaches. Back in the early '80s I was an audiofile, but then I had kids. Now I just like to listen to music other than the cookie cutter stuff provided by Clear Channel et al. To Slim Devices: Keep up the exceptional work, I love my SB and I look forward to the release of SlimServer 6.
