My only disappointment was that the Creative software in the box didn't have a utility to output the mp3 encoded signal to the wire. I've got a H/K reciever and would like to try its mp3 decoding just for fun (and my CD & DVD won't do mp3 CD-R's). I'm still pleased as punch because I didn't have to pull fresh wires or somehow wirelessly extend my LAN to the stereo to control the empeg.

This does bring up a question though, is it technically (with the current hardware) possible to route the mp3 stream right to one of the RCA jacks in a format that could be understood by other (stereo) devices? I know fantastically little about the digital encoding schemes used by stereos. I realize it would have to be an MP3 encoded stream and I'm sure the DAC's in the empeg are better than 99.9% of the gear out there, but I just wonder if it may (someday) be a software configurable feature.
