A product that is much more usable to audiophiles, if PC audio is going to grow past being a small, cultish fraction of small niche hobby. Lets face it, a quick scan of the PC audio forum here shows how tweaky and buggy it is right now. Personally, I have neither the time nor the inclination to deal with that sort of thing. For those that do, great, but I suspect I'm not alone..
At least, Olive has the right idea-make a dead quiet hard drive, prepackaged with decent software, the data base, and digital out(s). Perhaps Meridian or someone else will come up with something.
JackPS. Olive has improved its interface considerably since that review, and the remote works just fine.
