Stick your head in the sand, if you want. I don't think Logitech will be so stubborn. I'm not saying anyone should go out and buy that box as a replacement for the SqueezeBox. What I am saying is that SD/Logitech should be aware of what other players are doing in the market. You will *never* be able to market a consumer *entertainment* device (and make no mistake, that's what the SB is) to the masses by proclaiming it's *open-source* and *cross-platform*. Consumers want features. Eventually, you have to give the consumer what they want. And maybe more importantly, what they *expect*. I think it should be clear that many of the features of this new Helios player, which are absent on the SB3/Transporter, will increasingly be expected. One of them, and the most important to me for now, is the feature of pluggable media. -- ezkcdude DIY projects page: http://www.ezdiyaudio.com System: SB3->EZDAC->MIT Terminator 2 interconnects->Endler Audio 24-step Attenuators (RCA-direct)->Parasound Halo A23 125W/ch amplifier->Speltz anti-cables->DIY 2-ways + Dayton Titanic 10" subwoofer He's not hi-fi, he's my stereo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ezkcdude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2545 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30399 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
