    Useless if all it does is play back FLAC rips of CDs. I could see some value in it, however, if it plays back 24bit/96khz Vinyl rips. CDs just don't come in 96khz.

    @telepheedian: You think you're going to get better music quality from a 96khz rip of vinyl than from Redbook CD? Dream on.

    @mrburglar: Do I think I'm going to get better music quality from a 96kHz/24bit rip of a vinyl than a redbook CD? Why on earth would you think otherwise? See, one is analog. Therefore when you digitize it at a higher resolution and sampling rate, you will get a digital representation that is truer to the originally recorded music. Not particularly hard to understand.

    The Opus No. 4 is still shown on their site as maxing out at 1TB for $1799. The site also doesn't have a press release after 4/2/08, which is odd...

    I never understood these things. You want real audiophile, this thing doesn't hold a candle to the slimdevices Transporter coupled with a network NAS. I'm guessing even a Duet and a network NAS makes a better system with a lot more flexibility. How does this company stay in business?
