I'll bet a company likes of Denon has all of its MP3 functionality on a chip. Can't see why they'd want to replace a $5-$10 chip with $100 worth of electronics when most people will be happy with the existing WMA & MP3 functionality. The hundred-fold added complexity of running SlimServer, dealing with firmware, etc., etc. would have less than zero appeal to a company of that size.
Now, I could maybe see a boutique hi-end audio manufacturer jumping in and integrating an SB controller (ditching the analog output section) into a DAC or an integrated ampl + player. But we're talking about selling a few hundred units a year. Or maybe that manufacturer just designs and builds the "audiophile" Squeezebox we've all been talking about and Slim Devices labels and sells it. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21892 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
