The 880 server is dead, and that product category is probably past its peak with the advent of cheap terabyte-plus PC's for central music storage. But you still have to deliver from the central store to a replay mechanism, for which I guess we are all using Squeezebox / Linksys Media Receiver / Apple Airport type devices.

How about a Meridian receiver ? Something with both digital and analogue outs, wireless and wired, with 500-comms control, maybe with an option for an internal amplifier to make it completely standalone ? Could talk to the slimserver software, or use somethig homegrown. Would that be an interesting product ?
