There are some hard-core audiophiles that dislike any sort of wireless or computer-based media streamer. It's a philosophical thing and at this point does not reflect technological reality - any more so than cables, but let's not open that 10-ton can of worms. I have a few audiophile acquaintances and when I extol the virtues of Slim Devices stuff I usually get a "yeah, but doesn't it only play MP3s?!"
