That's why I own an SB2. ;) But, if you're not an audiophile who just wants music anywhere in the house I don't think sound quality is THAT important. I mean, who cares about detail, phase, timing, depth, timber and all that when you're listening to music while cooking, or dining, or taking a shower, etc.
As for SS, apparently the Roku supports it as well. Speaking of which, if SS is open source, does Slim Devices get paid any royalties or licensing fees if another company's product uses it? I hope so. Patrick Dixon Wrote: > Absolutely correct. Why sell an SB2 and make £15 when you can sell a CDP > and make ten times that?

At least when it comes to using a PC as a music server. It's a hard sell to convince traditional audiophiles for minimal profit. I don't think there's enough incentive for "audiophile" stores. -- Aylwin _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
