Any high quality music servers out there?
Thanks everyone for the very informative responses. Manga, when will you get your SB2 back and who is doing the mods? I recently tried the SB2 and was unimpressed. It's sitting in my trunk awaiting a drop at FedEx, although now I'm considering shi... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
I'm wondering where Theta's GenVIII fits into the groupings discussed here. Why hasn't it been mentioned?
