my listening experience is just listening to a nice stereo. With the Rega DAC, the experience is one of listening to music, and you forget about the playback. -- whoosh *Server*: Ubuntu 8.04 Server on Intel 1.66GHz Core Duo Mac Mini, 1GB RAM, 72GB internal for OS, 750GB Maxtor One Touch Firewire

Agreed 100% with firedog. This guy is definitely running the site as a joke. On the off-chance that he is serious, he will need the money to pay for the obscene amount of therapy that will be required to come back down to earth. -- whoosh *Server*: Ubuntu 8.04 Server on Intel 1.66GHz Core Duo

Thanks for sharing the initial impressions, Volpone. Please check back in after break-in with your continued thoughts. I may just take the plunge based on what I have read so far, provided I can find a dealer with a good home audition policy. -- whoosh *Server*: Ubuntu 8.04 Server on Intel

I think the WAF would be embarrassingly low for a device that had a chassis large enough to contain 64GB of RAM. Of course, that would be a small price to pay to have enough capacity for 4,000 minutes of music on the device. -- whoosh *Server*: Ubuntu 8.04 Server on old assorted hardware, now
