I'm just happy that there is diversity it makes the ecosystem stronger , personally I don't need the DoP capacity or USB conectivity . I may need an easy to setup server OS someday. Logitech's own support is somewhat erratic for some distros mr Herger does his best , but he still only one guy . Hopefully you and other 3rd party devs share patches etc that would benefit all . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
