Sounds like a pretty cool device. Pity it doesn't have a hard drive,

True, they could/should have fitted it with one of the widely
available 160 gig solid state drives which with the controller board
and **** would have cost them in the region of £300(ish) and would
have made it a more useful device and it would still be totally silent.

I'm getting a hard on thinking about a solid-state audio server. ;-)

Yeah, join the club, but before I make a move the price of SSD's is
gonna have to come down a bit and unfortunately there's bit of a flash
shortage in the world at the moment.



+1 on the SSD prices atm and maybe I'm in no hurry to climb on board yet
myself 'til the technology has settled down, but they gotta be the way
to go...

Yup, absolutely no doubt about it, big SSD's and FLAC. (Sure makes sense to me
anyway.)
