I know I didn't pay money for the one I've got sitting here right now, but if I had, I would still hang onto it despite those bugs. Because I know those bugs will be fixed soon.

Soon as in Rio Central soon? Honestly, I do trust the empeg guys to get things fixed. But the fact that people at SonicBlue, and now DNNA are sitting on fixes to things like streaming to Dell branded Receivers is a bit worrisome. I'll let the Karma mature a bit, and see how DNNA does with supporting it. A rapid firmware release after launch is a good sign, I just hope it continues.
