Thats one cool looking device

Although even if it is great it's hardly a perfect match. It does not handle surround and I've got no way to output anything from the computer directly through the device?
Haven't had the time to look it up too much but unless theres a strreaming mode that streams all sound going off the computer that won't work. And that will also limit it from playing movies or anything of that sort.

So it does seem to be paying alot for stuff that is already there, if you only buy it for the audio-output. It does appear to be a solid product but not for my uses.
I won't make use of the portability at all either so thats a waste, too.

Also, here in sweden I'd have to pay $407 (shipping not included) - for the wired version (I wouldn't go for wireless anyway). For that kind of money I really think that you would be able to get a *decent* soundcard.

I would perhaps be able to sell it to the family if it would be the answer to everything but unfortunately it hardly is and it also brings another device with it's remote to the livingroom that everyone has to learn.

For that amount of money I have a hard time believing that there isn't any soundcard that can beat it soundwise since that device is about so much more than the sound.
