This was one of the factors considered when they developed Touch and Radio . Much more flexible OS and cpu it can be made to support more codecs etc .
Old players is not very powerful and they are already 100% utilised no more room for anything . So it was clearly time for a new player for the future . Reciever and Boom is "SB2" in disguise tech from 2006 . The controller was the first attempt at SqueePlay based hardware, it actually has audioplayback as a beta function besides the controlling , but it does not work very well as player (it was probably for development/experiment purpose for the radio and Touch , controller itself is a bit weak in cpu department ) -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
