imo, it sounds exceptionally good, but for those who care there is no digital output. it'll play anything music match will play. and while i agree it has a different goal then slim has, it undoubtably is suitable for a much larger possible market than SB/SS is. it is the easy solution people so often speak of, or at least, the easiest i know of. and it really is easy. in my case, i don't want just easy, i also want powerful. but the vast majority wants easy out of the box ready, and it does that just fine. as long as something doesn't sound noticeably bad, most people are happy with it. mac has a similar thing, except it uses a router. their device even has a built in print server, and of course, it works with itunes. i'm not saying any one of these is better tahn the other, i am saying that for people who need ease and simple competence, the lyra is far and away the better solution. conversely, for those like myself who are prepared to pay extra for the power, features, and quality of SB, its better. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.3 - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25462 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
