Different strokes of course. I don't own every album, podcast, radio stream, etc. ever created so a server doesn't get me there on its own. And so much music really is disposable after a month or two.
But yeah carry as many devices as you want.
And yes, I bought three more LPs today.
I'm probably failing the audiophile team, but a non-network player and 'owning' all your music seems so limiting nowadays. Streaming audio and video services have certainly changed things for me for 99% of the stuff out there. Still good to have options for the special 1%.
Supposedly big performance jump on iPhone 4 and iOS 7.1.

It better play back 24/352.8 DXD. None of that 24/192 crap. And Korg AudioGate can convert between PCM and DSD. Just feed it your Twitter account to use free.
