I'm not sure of your definition of 'faithful'; I nearly bought a SlimP3 (but didn't), but I did buy a SB1, a SB2 and a Transporter. I'm geeky enough to have tried several solutions to different 'problems' (external M-Audio SuperDAC with the SB1, Qnap TS-101 and a mini-ITX box as music servers and, more pertinently, several different 'graphical remote' solutions).
I've used a laptop, a Pocket PC with a SD wireless card and a Nokia 770. None were very satisfactory. But the Jive handset (now the controller) does almost everything I wanted, it's responsive, intuitive and frankly, a joy to use. It is more expensive than I expected, but it's just what this 'faithful' user had been waiting ages for. -- Fifer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fifer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=639 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
