Thanks, people...I am making progress but remember I'm still 5 yo...so, the objection to buying an I pod Classic 160 gb and a i20 pure dock is that since my old receiver doesn't have a digital input, I'd still get lousy analog sound from the IPOD....so I'd be looking at about $250 for the IPOD, plus $100 for the i20 Pure and whatever a newer digitally ready receiver might cost....say $200 for a total of $550. But.....even tho the Vortexbox looks like the best solution if I go with the SB Touch, I'm still feeding the signal into the same ole 30 yo analog receiver...so, (tell me if I'm wrong about that, pls), I'd be looking at buying a Vortexbox for about $430, plus the SB Touch for about $250, and as I'd would be wanting better digital sound just as I would if I went with the Ipod --i20 pure configuation--, a new digital receiver receiver for about $200 for a total of $880. To play devils advocate (I know, unusual for a 5 yo to do that): would I not have the same issues with the Vortexbox Appliance that I'd have with a HDD into the SB, namely, doing full scans over and over, going into sleep mode, etc?...and if the answer if no, would the Vortexbox-SBTouch-digital rec still justify spending $330 more than the IPOD-i20 pure-new digital receiver option? Many thanks, people. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LeeA's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56330 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95360 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
