This is all true, but we're talking about computer components here, and therefore it makes sense that future generations of SB will get a faster CPU and bigger buffer whether it wants them or not. It's like, even if you could still buy a 1 GB hard drive, it would probably be the same price as an 80 GB drive. -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49210 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
