At least if you did this you could make some claim that the product was now manufactured in whatever country you live in.

If I blather enough everyone will agree with me at some point. It's just the law of large numbers.

Yeah, I'm not sure what mbee's talking about. That's exactly where you're most likely to stream from! You can do an NAS, but most people are probably using primarily Pandora & iTunes streaming. Again, I'm not saying it's a bad system, but it's not winning any converts on audio quality. Maybe you could add outboard DACs

I'm sorry, but I have to agree. There's just no way you're not hearing a difference. It's utterly startling even with the higher quality content streamed directly from iTunes. And the other "sources" like Pandora, etc. are barely listenable. If they'd come out with higher quality gear and some means of integrating (clients

It's like saying that your headphones, once plugged into your MacBook, can decode Apple Lossless. If there's an Apple Device in the playback chain, Apple Lossless is possible. If not, not. What we really

That's like having the baker bring a bite of cake for an in-mouth demo.

The reality is that iTunes, whether on purpose or not, makes living with lossless a real hassle. Sure you can do Apple Lossless, but then it won't play on anything but an Apple product. Or you can use other formats, like WAC or FLAC, and have no way to manage the formats within iTunes and have to manage meta-data yourself. Simple google searches

They will. It will be just like connecting them to a PC from the standpoint of the speaker.
