Guys I am following this thread for quite a while now and I was wondering why nobody suggests a transporter sized box including some (>100GB) disk space and a running slimserver. Ideally including a SB3 functionality.
Dont know if this is an easy task because of computer/harddisks interfearing some of the audio components. If so, have a second NAS only box in a TP design. >From my point of view SB is an extremly sexy and comfortable device. The neccessity of setting up an PC running 24/7 is a killing argument for most of the customers out there. Guys keep in mind we (the reader in this forum) are somewhat cracy and more related to such a technology. Slimdevices could sell 10x more devices and could come out of a niche market if they had a solution for technology noobs. A good range of products would be - Transporter ($2k) for audiophiles (this is still a niche market!) - SB3 ($300) for mainstream - NAS Server in TP Design with installed Slimserver ($500) - NAS Server in TP Design inkl. a SB3 ($800) (much better than NAS only!) no second display (this is luxary) no extremly highend DAC the standard remote one power button only anything else that reduces cost - A UMPC/Nokia800 look alike remote ($350) running out of the box with SS6.5.1 or the above introduced TP NAS @Slimdevics Guys: Take this as free-of-charge consultancy ;). I hope it is appretiated.
