Ah ok, I understood the opposite :P But yes you are right, this is very
specific!

I agree, however I like the concept of Squeezebox/slimserver very much
and I did not find anything (regardless of price) that I liked better,
execept for the Transporter of course ;-)

Going the pda route is certainly an option I am looking into! :)

itunes either.

I don't agree. It is the slimserver software that makes the SB3 so
succesfull in my opinion.

The depends on how you look at it. In my view the room changes the
sound a lot, therefore I think using room correction is not changing
the sound but making up for the alteration that already happened.

Thats a totally different thing, especially if you are just "guessing"

Again this depends on how you look at it, see above.

In my case it is a clear improvement. I did not try the Tact devices.

I guess it is a matter of taste and also it will vary depending of the
combination of devices you have in your setup. I have nothing againts
upsampling , I just do not see a reason why I "need" it.

You are right of course, but since I have a pc I do not need this extra
hardware :-)

Thanks for your replies and tips!
