Regarding the price, yes, it's expensive but... is it more expensive than buying a dedicated amp, quality speakers, thousands of CDs? No compared to all of that it would still be cheaper. And yes, I, too, would spend $300 for it. My initial price point was just to make it clear that I didn't want something cheap. -- gorman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gorman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27824 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
