dilznik: soundproof: As stated above, I miss the optical drive. One of my guilty pleasures when traveling is picking up CDs and DVDs that make the time spent in hotel rooms not as wasted. Don't you rip all your DVDs and CDs onto your mini anyway? Just copy the data onto the Air and you're set. You save space by not carrying DVDs and CDs and

I'm asking the question because I'm curious as to whether the BL5s will process the "new" HD sound formats properly, or whether it will downsample them. I'd also like to be on top of the specifics as to the signal processing in the speakers, and as this thread demonstrates it's hard to get a clear-cut answer! 1. Will a 24bit

I think it's perfect if you travel a lot - light, slim and powerful. I find myself connecting to an Ethernet cable maybe once a month, which means I don't miss that connector not being built in (and there's a dongle you can use).
