I share your noise concerns. (And a 10K drive is always going to be louder than a 7.2K drive of the same type, isn't it?)

The system really has to be silent. I can't imagine that Control 15 will be the ideal solution for everyone. I also can't imagine it will be the last Sooloos product to have the Meridian audio goodness on the digital output. An Ensemble in a year with the same upsampling etc would sell as well...

Rick, rumours?
