From today's audio news... HDTracks and Liztic LLC Partnership - The two firms have joined forces to bring hi-res audio to every music lover thru Liztic’s cross-platform music technology. It basically manages and synchronizes all of someone’s music, across several libraries and operating systems. One can have their music on iOS, Android, Mac and Windows devices, mobile and not, all at a moment’s notice. The Liztic app also allows users to play uncompressed and hi-res audio files, as sold by HDTracks, up to 192K/24bit (FLAC/AIFF/WAV) thru external DACs. Music from cloud-based storage can also be accessed, and the free basic Liztic version gets you up to 250 tunes on three devices. One-time upgrades ranging from $2.99 to $24.99 offer increased sync capacity for more devices. Both firms will also offer discounts to one another’s customers.

Just in case... Sylvania MusicLites Speaker Light for $50 (half off) http://dealmac.com/iphone/deals/1005213.html

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%.

A Mercedes SLS is a Chevy Camaro to a McLaren P1 owner.* * Or something like that (I don't really know cars).

Thanks. I jumped, so we shall see.

Unless there's a perfect $1500 alternative, I don't see the issue with modding.

Supposedly big performance jump on iPhone 4 and iOS 7.1. http://9to5mac.com/2014/03/10/new-in-ios-7-1-big-iphone-4-performance-improvements-better-navigation-audio-and-more-videos/

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.
