Music Servers & Sonos. XiVA Music M8, W4S ?

Look into the Bryston BDP-1 digital music player.I hate computers, do not believe in computer based music quality or ease, but this unit is easy to operate and sounds incredible. Simply moved my iTunes music onto a HDD, connected to BDP-1 and voila! I was skeptical but now am a believer.

Erikminer, i agree about sonos pwd. I use the same combo with the bridge. Have you upgraded the pwd to version 2? Did it improve the sonos quality?

The PS Audio will work the about the same as Sonos does with iTunes.. In that neither really "works" with iTunes as I think you're thinking. Sonos looks to the iTunes library and copies an index of it to play.. The PS Audio also uses "shares" I understand your question is based on ease of use so I'll just answer yes, sort of.

If you are on a PC I'd strongly recommend using DBpoweramp to rip.. If you're on a Mac I'd use XLD..there are numerous reason why but the biggest is the way iTunes creates files.. Once you get to that point you can try them out and you understand that ripping with iTunes isn't the best choice, it's fine as music manager.

Jamesw20 I'm waiting on my MKII upgrade.. From everyone who gotten it I'm very excited, sounds like a big upgrade to what was already very good SQ.

I don't know...
Seems it is just easy and idiot proof to
burn my music and buy it from ITunes....

I just need something that is easily going to
take the music from ITunes and put it on a NAS
or whatever and play it.

I do not want to get into running all kinds of various
software etc, I just don't have the patience for various
shareware etc and learning it and dealing with the errors
