Thanks for the suggestions guys. Really great starting point. One of these will likely work out. Maybe the CAL. Love especially the Stello, but afraid it's kinda outta my price range (as it's going to be in minority use status). Probably no CDJ because of aesthetic reasons.

Size is getting to be important and looking for a small cheap CDP with digital outs. Coming to you all for help. Used fine. Haven't had luck finding much, but something along the lines of this would work. Otherwise seems to be more DVD players (though not always with displays) in this range. Basically going for a Squeezebox/Lavry/GS-1 rig so trying to keep width near or less than 10". And Dusty Approved Black. Anyone know of any CD models I should consider or DVD players usable with an external display? If only my DVD-2900 was about a quarter its size.

x2 though most of my experience was pre-Creative ownership. Was sad to see them leave the West Coast. Stores were fun visits in pre-headphone days. Even after Creative bought their lines were always better than Creatives similar. Bet it sounds decent.

We don't know the quality of the 24/192 DAC in the Olive, but doesn't seem more expensive to me than whatever system you'd have a $400-500 ripper/NAS drive in. Add $300-$1K for the missing DAC and you approach/go over the new Olives price, no?

You can come up with excuses for the photography.

Nice pairing with the Glite. I'm a sucker for gear that visually matches.

That wave groove finish on his R-series pre was crazy nice.

It was of course number three. Rep started activating, got hung up, then fudged the rest. I even worked for AT&T a bit (then SBC) and it wasn't so bad, but it kills me I have to deal with them as a customer as every transaction is a disaster (last was AT&T DSL change to new AT&T DSL that killed my tubes for three weeks). Anyway, fixed now. Been searching 10 pages of 'case' search results in this thread and only came across a few 'JH13s don't fit,' etc. comments, so apologies if this was covered before, but anyone got any 'is great'/'stay away' suggestions for the free case program (before it disappears)? Leaning towards the Incase Snap Smoke, but could be swayed.

HBDS!

Well, I'm being told by AT&T my new phone micro-SIM card is already activated on another account. Fishy for a new wrapped phone (with SIM number correctly printed on phone box). Wonder if it's a refurb, evil hackers or just general AT&T incompetence?

Hmmm. GF and I are both in the same waiting period. Maybe they're just processing during business hours? Will call AT&T. Thanks guys.

Received my iPhone 4 yesterday. How long did you guys have to suffer the "waiting for activation" message? I'm at the 12 hour mark.

I suppose at the 1K price point its value depends if you approach it from the storage or DAC side of things. A lot of functionality compared to DAC1, DA10, etc. Course who know how it sounds?

Went with cheddar. A little nervous which way to take "grilled cheese." No explosions yet, though still moving through body.

Polling you gastrophiles. Working from home today. Should I try Krafts new Grilled Cheese Explosion Mac & Cheese or new Cheddar Explosion Mac & Cheese?

See Olive just released a lower priced model today. If the O3HD is like the OH4D (no O3HD page up yet) it will have a digital input too. $1K and DAC duty makes this a bit more interesting. Still seems a bit cumbersome to have another library for other devices (iPod, etc.), but curious if any here have experience with their previous models?
