Sonos turns your house into an ipod

Anyone else have any experience with the Sonos system?
I picked mine up from an enlightened local sound store and have been blown away with the quality of the system. It makes single disc players obsolete. It has a built in fifty watt per side power amp and excellent AD/DA convertors as well as analog inputs and outputs. The handheld remote control has an incredible color screen that allows you scroll through your music collection and internet radio stations. For anyone with a large CD collection the Sonos system is the only way to go.

They should have an audiogon light for all these tech gadgets. This used to be an audiophile forum. Now it's Cnet. I have a mobile mp3 player and shure headphones, but don't tweak the hell out of it. It's sound is ok. And that's all to expect. It's not even comparible to a modest home system.

Audio distribution systems should be part of Audlogon. The Sono's music Server is great. The new Sono machine will transfer FLAG CD copies from your hard drive digitally into your DAC. Not only should the quality be better than via a CD transport; but it will enable you to search through all of your CD's from your couch.

I enjoyed Robm's "Now it's Cnet" comment--funny, but I agree with Hamburg. No reason these types of systems shouldn't be part of audiophile discussion. However, it'd be helpful if there a little more audiophile content to the posts about Sonos. The features of Sonos are undeniably cool, but how a little more specific description of the amp and DAC performance, compared to other hifi components, that you would buy into with Sonos?

As an aside, seems like Apple should get moving with a multi-remote-speaker version of iTunes.
