I have been PMing Ronnie about the virtues of a Mac as a source.

Channel D have a program called PureMusic which I will then couple with maybe a M2 Tech Hiface which in the UK I can get for about �100.

Unfortunately, I'm waiting the imminent refresh of the apple lineup up so am stalling on actually buying the Mac Mini (keep an eye out on Macrumors.com).

Ronnie has demo'd a lot of kit and I believe has quite a high end system and he is very complementary on how good the mac and puremusic sound. This is a cheapish way into the music server world and has less of the restrictions that Sooloos seem to impose in terms of how big the hard disks are, how you rip etc etc.

I'm very keen on MC200/MS600 but am nervous of outlaying that kind of cash. This is a rapidly changing landscape and I can't help feeling that changes will happen, although knowing Meridian, it will take longer than hoped for it to happen.
