I don't presume to speak for SD, as I already said I have no connection. However, I think the professional market is quite large, and it would make sense to me to target them with a product as useful as the Squeezebox, but with professional features (eg AES/EBU, wordclock). In fact, it may not even be as much about the sound, but simply that most professional gear already has these connections - and much of it doesn't even have consumer SPDIF (RCA), for example, try finding coaxial SPDIF output on professional souncards. So, if *I* were making a professional version of the Squezebox, of course, I would add AES, word clock, etc. Otherwise, no pro would even think about buying it for *professional* use. > Even if true, that still wouldn't answer what I was interested in > knowing: whether the additional appeal it may or may not have to > audiophiles who -can/could- use its AES/EBU and WC options is > justified.

Maybe if you had 10m or more of cable, it would make a difference. And maybe there is a small segment of the audiophile market that is really clamoring for these professional features. Whether it is worth making another SB device for these folks is up to the SD/Logitech marketing guys. -- ezkcdude There are 10 kind of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't.
