Huh? $1000 for ?
Can't a computer with a good sound card do this and much more?
Well it does look pretty cool.....but is it $800 cooler than my Logitech Squeezebox? No.
Good product with a great (for this product) price. "Audiophiles" wanting a nice dedicated component to incorporate digital lossless music into their systems will appreciate this. There are other solutions, including connecting a noisy PC with digital out to an external DAC. If you think the audio on you iPlod or phone with the included earbuds sounds great, this isn't for you. If you find yourself losing track of the time while critically listening to music, then maybe this is for you.
No you can't #1.
Then maybe 1 PC load with NAS S/W and another system with wireless card and nice DAC can do it. But this set up can do better than music - it can do video also.
Not really interest in getting one equipment for 1 function only... paSS
