Good idea paulster - although believe it or not, I am never going to use the sync or multi-room aspect which SB is famous for - I just want the one "equivalent to" hi-end digital transport with the flexibility of streaming and music libraries. Normally you would assume that a device with no moving parts and low latency OS would beat an expensive CD transport which has to cope with mechanical moving parts - but its the quality of the power supply that tends to make or break the sound of a good digital transport. My suspicion is that the power supply feeding that PogoPlug is mediocre at best. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stop-spinning's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
