Hi, I have both system installed in my company. Sound wise, I prefer the Slimdevices and btw, the SONUS is not 96kHz - no advantage over the Slimdevices. The SONUS system is better integrated and gives you an analog input as well on each client - that can be important if you want to play some of your older equipment through the system. The user interface is very nice and easy to understand. One can use NAPSTER here in Europe - The Suqeezenetwork is not really nice to us Europeans :-) Even so, it sounds like the SONUS is the the winner, I still prefer the Slimdevices to work with. First of all, I also have the Transporter as well and that one does 96kHz, second argument is that the Slimdevices are much smaller and if you buy yourself a small amp from Project (with Flying Mole Class-D), you get a really neat solution. Ah, and of course the Slimdevices are cheaper by far. I must admit that I also like to be part of the development of Slimdevices. I don't remember any other system that is so open and takes so much input from the community. It's a sort of fun and a thrill to deal with such new things. SONUS is more boring. You switch in on and it works. I hope that does not sound too paranoid...
