The reciever also has a good DAC and all the compontents needed for digital out and other connections. LCD screens are cheap enough - you can buy contract free (pay as you go) mobiles with simular screen here in the UK for £9.99 now. I am baffled by the expensive buttons too. Are the made of gold? Maybe they ad a bit to the cost, the cost of the dock need factoring too - but a jump from £150 to $300??? -- autopilot SLIMSERVER:[/B] 7.0 APLHA (WINDOWS XP) + ALIENBBC, SLIMSCROBBLER & LAST.FM. *AMP:* CAMBRIDGE AUDIO 640A (LIVING ROOM) / DENON MD30 (BEDROOM). *SPEAKERS:* MISSION 701'S (LIVING ROOM) / KEF CRESTA 1'S (BEDROOM). *REMOTE:* T-MOBILE MDA VARIO / HARMONY 525 (IR) / *BETA TESTING JIVE REMOTE.
