There is definately a market for this kind of device - look at the Olive line. It includes ripping, storage, server and DAC function all in one package. It would be an obvious place for SD to go in terms of expanding the product line. Personally speaking I bought a Transporter because it has NO SPINNING DISKS, great features and top of the line DAC & audio stage. My disks are in an Infrant Readynas NV+ in a completely seperate room. Why? Well let me just say this. All my computers are Koolance water cooled cases to ensure I have no scramjet-loud fans, either. I have a real bug about computer noise. Last thing I want is a classically engineered PC in the middle of my audio listening experience. I play music on my desktop PC when I work too, but its background stuff at that point. There is no way my Logitech computer speakers compare to my Real Speakers(tm)! It all depends on your listening habits and requirements. -- Eric Carroll ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Carroll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9293 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31935 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
