The average Joe wouldn't have a clue what an XLR output is for; nor would he possess any other equipment to take advantage of it. Assuming Logitech want to ship Squeezeboxes in volume, they will have to address the needs of the mass market. Sound quality is already more than good enough for that.
It strikes me that the existing hardware is already fine for the mass market. The barrier to the Squeezebox becoming a mainstream product is the backend - the slightly geeky nature of Slimserver, and the somewhat involved process of ripping CDs and tagging files. I predict that Logitech will focus on these issues rather than mess with the Squeezebox itself. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35881 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
