I'm SO tempted to get one of these things primarily as a ripping machine that feeds my empeg and secondly (is that a word?!) to pump audio into my decent home system. Does this have TosLink?

Would be nice if you could buy a version without any hard drives.... It would lower the entry price.

(For the record, I started THIS thread prior to the other one being locked, but I should have linked to this thread over here... live and learn!)
