Ethernet MP3 Player
To
add
fuel to the debate below was recently posted on the slimp3-dev group by one
of
the SliMP3 developers.
I can
vouch for the great sound - through Meridian amps and Monitor Audio
Speakers,
not quite as good as the Meridian CD player but good enough given the
convenience.
=============
Well the thing about the
Audiotron
is that they goofed in designing the
analog stage, and ran the RCA
cables in a strange way from the main board
to the front panel and back,
going
right across the 110 VAC connections
and the transformer. Oops.
That's
why if you have an AT, you'd better be
using the optical
output.
SliMP3
sounds just great on the analog outputs. In fact, if anyone
wants
to take the Pepsi challenge,
come
by my office and listen to it on a pair
of Sennheisers, and then listen
to
the AT with coax output. $50 says you
can't tell which is
which. ;)
The
reason I haven't added SPDIF is simply that I can't afford to
re-tool
for new boards, stencils,
cases,
etc to make it happen. I understand the
desire to keep everything
digital
as much as possible, but for most people
it's a useless feature - I
chose to
spend the $$ instead on a better
display. You've have to
focus
on the features that are worth something to
everyone.

Ah,
