Seriously - slimproto is open, you can use whatever slimproto compatible server you want. Obviously, there's a clear choice there but I can think of at least 2 other implementations which exist. Likewise, the Linn will work with any upnp server, of which there are a limited (but larger) number available. I can control my Transporter with my remote (included!), SBC, iPhone, PDA (via Telcanto), Nokia 800, PSP, Wii and every other web enabled device I own. As for NAS selection, there may be a few more which can run upnp vs slimserver, but it's by no means "any" NAS. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38815 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
