I heard from a (probably unreliable) source that it will 'soon' be possible to control an HDX from an iPod/iPhone. This would be a very nice feature except for the fact that Apple doesn't support Flash.I suppose this could mean that:-a) the new...

How does the CD5x (got one) compare to Benchmark DAC1?

I am looking at getting rid of my Sonos in place of a PC/Mac. The Sonos is great, but I have found 90% of the time I am using it via my PC...so I may as well ditch the Sonos and use a PC/Mac.I know I can easily build a quiet PC, but I am very tempted...

Anyone running one ?James

Just downloaded the free William Fitzsimmons track in 16bit Flac, put it through Max and into iTunes. Very good indeed. Look forward to comparing a few of my Naim label CD rips with the equivalent downloads and of course downloading a shed more music....

I'm currently 3 days into a home dem of the 555PS on my HDX - I know it's kind of inevitable but this really is a super upgrade over the XPS and one that I'm going to find tricky to send back! (it's clearly warming up too ...)In summary the new PS...
