Pray tell - what would any self respecting audiophile be doing on the Slimdevices forum? Perhaps trying to find out which Internet music streaming service sounds best in the background? As far as I can tell from looking at the latest issues of all the high end magazines disc and vinyl playback remain the dominant ways of that audiophiles listen to music. Streaming is either used for background listening and any computer based music listening involves some type of Apple device along with $500 USB cables and an asynchronous USB DAC. So again I ask: what would any self respecting audiophile be doing on the Slimdevices forum? And just in case I'm not making myself perfectly clear: many of us on this forum have abandoned the world of high end audio and audiophiles in much the same that high end audio and audiophiles abandoned the very serious and high quality music streaming offered by the Squeezebox line of music streaming devices. So don't think of this section as "audiophile" in the normal sense of the word but rather as "audiophile" defined by a $300 device with plastic case, which is isn't audiophile at all.
