I've been following the empeg project for I don't know how long...after I saw the price drop to $700 I just knew it would drop again. I told eBay to notify me when the keyword "empeg" showed up, one thing led to another, and I ended up ordering it, at long last, for $199 on sunday.

After reading a whole lot about the features of the Mk2, and all the playlist-music-ordering concepts, I know now that I'm exactly the type of audiophile/computer geek this product was built for. I just couldn't afford it until now.

Can't wait to hack it, too.
