We have a loaned unit in our showroom. I have not done critical testing of it but it was quite pleasant driving our Salon 2s. If there is interest, I will play with it more and report back.

If you get the chance, sure! I'm still laying low about the music server thing, and the all-in-one approaches such as the Olive are attractive. At $5K, it should be.

You can learn a lot about this product here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1091695
It can rip all your CD's but as it's backup is a proprietary format, you won't get your audio files out of this box.....

So, you're stuck using Olive forever unless you want to start over with a new device, correct?
