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?!"  Sigh.
