But the strange thing is, the M2000 was more advanced than the current M1001! It did not upsample to 48 kHz (for that matter, neither did the M500 IIRC) and had a larger display. The M1001 is a downgrade. I remember reading on their forums about the change to 48 kHz. There seemed to be a lot of heads in the sand about it - there wasn't too much fuss and they accepted Roku's explanations without question. Boy if Slim Devices tried that around here, the community would rip them a new...umm...orifice. Roku does seem to be leaving this market, the heavy promotion now seems to be on their digital sign controllers (WTF?) -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29770 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
