Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Precisely...

Concur. It's just too much trouble with performance that's, at best, inconsistent. Two things need to happen imo, Olive type units with owner swappable hard drives that have the analogue performance of today's similarly priced CDPs and content providers putting out non-esoteric music at something other than 44.1/16 (imo, that's not going to happen in the next five years as in the current economic client I just don't see studio going back to remaster significant portions of their catalogs for high end use. I don't think I'm alone judging by the number of new CDPs introduced at CES).

Personally, I find it more than a little paradoxical that the same people who complain that putting a CD into a player is too much work then turn around and go gaga over a music server that requires configuration and hours upon hours of ripping and tagging music.
