Bill I wasn't really trying to slap you, at least not as much as it may have sounded. I guess my gripe is folks that take a piece of gear to someone house hook it up and then make judgments on it's sound. That whole scenario frankly does not work....

This a pretty lame post. Earlier you wax poetic about an unbroken in unit then the next day it sounds like poop and you say to hold off buying one until it's all sorted out? Was the unit switched off, cables changed, how many actual hours are on i... 
Plinius 8200 vs. 9100 -Which one?
With your room and speakers I'd opt for the extra power of the 8200, if you can't spring for a 9200. I'd also go for the mkii. I had both and the mkii is bit more refined, a but more detailed not in a bright way just a bit more information gets th...

Cutterfilm I asked about cables because the W4S responds very well to good cables. I'd at least try one of these VDH toslinks out. It would be The choice since it's the only high end toslink I know that can be had with a mini toslink at one end, a... 
CD changer or squeezbox or dedicated server?
If you are only going to do music in one room get a Squeezebox Touch, much better unit than the soon to be discontinued Duet. If you want to do music in several rooms get a Sonos. Cd Changer is so limited, and old school.

PS Audio PWD + Bridge - ripping?
SGR: If you rip to any lossless format you will not have to rip again. If you are really worried then rip to a non compressed format like wav or aiff these can be transcoded to any format you like; flac, or alac with no loss of quality. Of course ... 
Logitech Touch vs Duet
Of course you could also get a Sonos system and save yourself a lot of grief. 
PS Audio PWD + Bridge - ripping?
No. You will still need a computer to rip. Although unless I am mistaken I believe the PWT will rip, at least there was talk along those lines. In any case a computer would be a less expensive way to rip. 
Recommend me a DAC for 300
Cambridge Dac Magic 
What is the best sounding CD Changer.
A Squeezebox Touch.. 
PS Audio PWD. who's in line to cross the bridge??
Ordered mine too 
W4S DAC1 / Stello DA100 / Cary Exciter DAC.
Actually from what I've heard/read the Touch does have much better digital out, uses a different SPDIF output with lower jitter. Fwiw talk on the SB forums is that the Touch sounds pretty darn close to the Transporter.. In any case Duet/DacM would...
