HI,

I have a USB 2.0 external drive (2.5") having 80 GIG of
Mp3. The
problem is that I still need to use my computer to listen
the music. I
would like to be able to plug the USB drive directly on a
HIFI, without
using the computer.

I will have to buy anyway a new HIFI, a new LCD TV 26", a
new CD
player, etc. I am ready to buy some new piece of
equipment.

So If I can plug the external drive directly on a new kind
of HIFI, or
can I buy a kind of USB2.0 HUB linked to a HIFI ?

Thanks.

Etienne.

You said you wanted a new CD player well then this will fit
the bill as well. You can store all you uncompressed music
on this and then up/download to and from your USB drive in
any format you wish. Plus you can also network it with your
existing home network. This is the near perfect solution of
integrating your hi-fi with your computer system.

I have now used one for about 3 months now and am still very
impressed with it. There are some small glitches with it
but nothing the next firmware upgrade wont fix (hopefully).

BTW one last thing it has some excellent DACs in it and it
is worth every cent just as a CD player.
