I don't think anyone disputes that this can sound very good. But you have to keep in mind that folks that have invested tens of thousands of dollars into Dac/preamp/amp/Speaker home systems are not likely to be happy about bypassing their beloved Dac/preamp/amp for the internal DAC and amp of this networked music player. The fact that you've now added S/PDIF coax out (so that once *can* feed their own DAC/preamp/amp) basically solves this issue. Although many would argue that it would be nice to have a cheaper unit that does NOT contain the built in amp for those that don't need the amp. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97539 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
