I agree, but I actually see this as an opportunity. These hifi companies have established dealers to help with the install, and if they package up a NAS or silent PC with a wifi system that just plugs into a router - together with a standard install of SC - then you have the ease of install and support that is necessary for the consumer. -- adamslim Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others SB+, EAR V20, Living Voice OBX-R2s plus some other stuff SB3, Charlize, Harbeth HL-P3ES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48945 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
