I think the technical design of the object is totally irrelevant. I use: a big "all-in-one" server, AppleTVs for videos, SBs for audio. For me, each provide the quality experience I value. In the case of the server: it is reliable; In the case of the players, they are non-distracting and perform well. I value a representation of performance, and I also like having setup the system myself. Others will value compactness, the fact there is no wire, that its brand new, ... whatever.
I hate music videos. I love documentaries on musicians or musicals. I can't believe I would ever buy an SB *because* it is good at videos. I don't believe it is possible to be equally good at 2 different things. I used to have an HTPC. The experience was poor. Permanent tinkering aside, it had too many features like Internet and all, so it was a permanent distraction. The devices I use now are non-distracting and perform better. I have a PC for the other stuff. -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72512 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
