To address the USB issue/question buy a Touch and run TinySBS, Jimbo. Not starting a Flame War, but I and I think many others would not call Sonos Very High End! Very High Dollar, yes! If one compares the specs with Sonos and then does listening tests, one quickly sees that they are way over priced. Do they look a little Higher End then Squeezebox, sure I would agree to that (other then Transporter), but for 3 to 5 times more money they should. And the built in amps are nothing to right home about. I would never use Sonos on my Main Listening System if I were given one for free. $500 for 55 watts of Class D power, again thanks but no thanks. I believe that not a single Sonos unit has an XLR Balanced out option. I also believe that Sonos will not do 24/96 (couldn't find anything either saying yes or no). So if one is not over paying for a Digital Transport (using the ZP90 S/PDIF), how in the world can Sonos even remotely be called High End, much less Very High End? -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74510 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
