I tried it out way back when - it worked perfectly and the connection was as fast as the SB could manage, which was just a tad slower than a laptop's internal card in the same location: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19612 That was with the old SB2 though. -- Mark Lanctot Cur

Thanks for all those speedy replies. The situation I have is that the house is already pre-wired back to the cellar with non-active ceiling speakers already installed, so I have to fit a system around that. The best amp I've looked at so far (as recommended above) is the AudioSource Amp100. I lik
