Hey, I'm not knocking it... well maybe a little. I have tried all of it and the guys over at the Hi-Rez area were super cool and helpful.
Problem is, that I found it kind of a pain in the ass. FOR ME... the software was clunky, I made a server out of an old laptop and that was a PITA because it felt like I was back in the 80's working with command prompts. Once that was done, I spent a lot of time downloading the CDs onto the server... all of which is really enjoyable if you are a computer hobbyist like I used to be...but am no more.
All I want is a component that fits in my rack and either downloads from the net or ingests from a drive and then I can scroll through a list and hit "play" if I want to do some critical listening or set it to random and forget about it if I just want background music.
I've seen something like that from Pioneer (Elite N-50), but I haven't tried it yet. Once there's something like that that is both user friendly and high quality, I'll be back on board and I'll stop bitching. :)
But please don't think I was trying to poo-poo your hobby or anything! I listen to records for crying out loud. That's fiddly as well, but in a way that I enjoy.
