Thanks Castalla. That rings a bell actually. I'm sure I read that on one of the hi-fi forums but I'll be damned if I can find it. Was this one of the threads that was deleted? It got very long and convoluted. I looked up the Cocktail Audio streamer but one review mentioned that the sound quality was nothing special. Perhaps it'll be worth waiting for the Olive One.
