Great feedback, and like I stated - there is the option for regular ethernet connection.
BUT, this is marketed as a "wireless streaming device" - so that's what the article is geared towards. I run high security on my laptop, router NAT, and Yoggie Pico security device - port forwarding MUST occur for me. If you are not worried about firewall settings, that's your data. Not mine. And you're right, I should restate on "lossy vs. Lossless" transfer, it's what I meant, and realize I should change that comment. No CD in the box is a welcomed addition, and completely understood relying this product makes use of an active network - you probably 99% have access to an internet connection as well to download it. It isn't bad, it was just noted. While it can process 5.1 files, it will not output 5.1 through an audio file that isn't encoded with it (as a standalone processor might). I'll make note that you need to have a 5.1 DTS reciever and 5.1 WAV + flac file to take advantage of this. Taking advantage of the slimserver network and utilizing a seperate computer in sub. for a squeezebox was awesome!
