I suppose all the other audiophiles I know are also engineers. So while a $5-10K prepro is not out of the question, no one I know spends hours tracing their CDs with green markers nor worrying too much about the power cable they're using (as long as it's adequate for the current).
While my comment was broad, so too was saying audiophiles care about preamps with external power supplies. An audiophile cares about good sound and music they enjoy. Creating a server product can cater as much to a high end community as to a low end one. Most high end equipment is installed by the CI (custom installer) community. Having a product they can easily sell/install for their clients would move a lot of units. Not as many as having a product anyone could buy and install themselves obviously. Logitech is about mass-market. Having a high end product doesn't preclude catering to the mass market. I've got a meager collection of remote controls, but if I told any normal individual how much any one of them cost, they'd likely drop their jaw. Of course higher priced remotes are becoming more mainstream now. Anyway, adding HD to Transporter = bad. Creating and marketing Slim-branded server = good. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30080 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
