I don't understand what you mean when you say "transport-only option". Surely if you don't need a DAC then a squeezebox IS that option. This product is a serious DAC with a squeezebox built in. As for the whole Sonos thing I don't get the appeal there at all. How does that work if there's more that one person in your house wanting to listen to different music in different rooms? You have to buy several remotes at £319 each or wait and take it in turns? How's the jitter from the Sonos' digital out compared to the '35ps at S/PDIF receiver' quoted for this device? Anyway back to the "I'm really disappointed", what were you hoping for for in this new product? -- rickwookie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25771 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
