I already have a 17" screen displaying all the info i'd ever want (from album pics to sampling rates, etc) and that 17" screen emails, does graphics and can rip rather quickly to the NAS drives that are hidden away. What exactly is the advantage here? Please enlighten me.....

if this is the future many of us have been time traveling for over 4 years now.

and the price is simply insane given the technology to date, unless you just want to show off shiny boxes and a large specialized screen that is limited in feature set -- at this point in the game a 17" should be incorporating smart house technology along w/ all PC functionality or else it's a step backwards. and please don't say that this sooooloooos screen is specialized so as to reduce RFI or other interferences.

I do hope this is a hot seller for M, but i suspect this is strictly for the affluent-ignorant set (as promised, i won't mention cables here as i quit discussing those like i won't discuss religion here).

I think there is a heck of a lot more that could be added to a music server than a CD player including the sound.

The average Joe would say your 5200's and G68 is insane as well as the 7200's you've been thinking about. Just because everything Meridian deals in does not float your boat don't assume other components won't float others boats.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
