Waiting to buy any "audiophile" music server is most certainly a very good idea since I've noticed that for the most part (there are a few exceptions) not long after an audiophile music server is introduced it invariably fails in the market place and is offered for a greatly reduced close-out price. Now on the other hand, the prices for the now discontinued Squeezebox streaming devices only seem to go up and up.
