I cartainly am. :-) And it seems clear from magazine sales and talking to some makers, etc, so are a fair number of other people. However the market is dividing into two categories. 1) users of iPlops and look-alikes and mobile 'mp3' players. 2) People who are introducing some form of 'media player' hardware into decent audio systems. Given the problems people can encounter with some 'computer' kit, and the tendency for standard PCs <sic> to be over specced, noisy, have interrupted or irregular data flow, etc, this seems a place were the smaller and 'lighter' systems that RO could run may have an attraction for a market that is small as a percentage of the UK population, but quite big in terms of how many people currently use RO. > Alan > PS I would be, but I have far too many other projects that need my time, > and my hi-fi system works. So do mine. :-) But I did spend a fair bit of time and effort (and money) on getting (Linux based) items into the audio systems I use that work well enough for serious listening. The whole process made me think that a RO based solution might prove very attractive to users not already committed. But at present this is impossible due to a lack of the ability to drive good quality USB DACs. And an advantage of the USB route is that it would free RO from having to have a sound system that had to be adapted for each different hardware platform. FWIW I'm basing my views on more than my own experience. Since I've been writing for HiFi News I've had various feedback from makers and users interested in 'computer audio'. [1] But for whatever reasons, an almost total lack of feedback from RO users/programmers. Hence my questions. I wonder if those who do work on developing/porting RO have much of a view of what might be possible here. Or if it is simply not something they could do. To me, though, this seems like it could be am opportunity to gain a niche that could be useful for RO and its users as well as music enthusiasts. Slainte, Jim [1] And also some work with makers under NDA related to kit that I'd love to see based on RO. -- Electronics http://www.st-and.ac.uk/~www_pa/Scots_Guide/intro/electron.htm Armstrong Audio http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/Armstrong/armstrong.html Audio Misc http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/index.html
