Thanks Mercman, As I for one am truthfully grateful for the work that you and Michael had done as a service to us all. I've always viewed both of your reviews as mind bending in the sense they're easy easy enough for a novice like myself to understand which direction is needed. And it seems once again that technology has moved on yet once again........., yet a friend of mine has been using and praising the SOtM based products for sometime how ( Hi Stephen ) and your review hits it right on the nail by using the various combinations of LPSs and USB Devices to fine tune ones system by ear makes a great deal of sense. http://www.audiostream.com/content/sotm-sms-200-mini-network-player-and-sotm-mbps-d2s-intelligent-battery-power-supply#gZSdFuxH4L7UXIw2.97 Once again......., much thanks. |

I just read the review. Good to see that prices are on the way towards reasonable ranges. When it comes to quality, Steve figured that it obviously can be done better and cheaper. I mentioned that once,twice,..... My guess. 200 to 250$ is doable (SB Duet range). Let see how things develop. What still remains is the black-box character of these streamers. Let see how it works with software support on the long run. Keep in mind. Today SW is more important then HW in this area. Enjoy. ----------------------------------------------------------------- blog latest >> The Audio Streaming Series - tuning kit pCP |

Just to make it clear. I didn't find anything wonderful. Nor I found him to be insightful. In this particular case just count all the other products he's mentioning. And then - not a single word/criticism why a $9k DAC still responds to all these minor modifications! That DAC - another one of his numerous "Greatest Bits" ratings btw. Reviewers are usually industry advocates. They're just not able to kick ... .
Enjoy.
