[quote user="linder"] I agree that in this setup, the Beosound 5 is definitely superior. Beosound 5 is the best B&O music system especially for people who are willing to spend the money for something that works well without much effort. This is what I would expect from B&O. Its the reason I purchased a Beosound 5. I have iTunes but

[quote user="TripEnglish"] AppleTV only has 160GB on-board storage and gives priority to video. My audio along is greater so there's streaming from a "switched-on" system no matter what.

Dear Mats, your contribution is much appreciated. It matches with my concerns about buying the Beosound 5, even as a loyal B&O customer. I hope your feedback will make B&O rethink their attitude.

If you are looking for a media player, how about the hp touchsmart computer, you all may not agree but to me it seems like a perfect candidate. Its elegant, has 1TB hard drive, plays cds dvds and all digital formats

I have the first generation PS3 with SACD capability. AFAIK this feature was disabled in the newer versions. Does anybody know if the Charcoal Black (CECH-2000A) will play SACD again ?
