Wow. Nice little unit for $579. Obviously not audiophile quality - the price is way too low. :) But it certainly looks the part in that case. However, the inclusion of HD video immediately eliminates it from any audiophalic aspirations. What audiophile would be caught dead with a piece of home theatre kit in his audio rack?
Plays Flac. Which is nice. 802.11g and WPA. Hmm. Very little to no geek appeal, though, since the optional software requires Windows. But it will run straight from a UPnP server. I'm guessing at its core is more or less a general purpose computer, probably running Linux, so there could still be some geek porn appeal to it. Probably the biggest downside for SB users (at least from what I can gather in these forums) would be the lack of a graphic screen. So that means no BBC news feeds, baseball scores, snowflake screen savers or other important eye candy displayed on the front of the unit. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28615 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
