Guys,

i'm on the fence on this one.. and the *only* reason that I'm considering it is that it's from the empeg team.

So is it worth it? If the price point was ~$1000, It'd purchase it in a heartbeat.. but...

A few questions:

a) hdd; 40gb is NOT enough... Will this unit support the new 160gb drives that're out on the market?

b) Which portables does it support; just the rio-branded ones? Any plans to support other players? (I currently own an intel pocket concert which I'm extremely happy with...)

>sigh< got my answer on another thread:

You're probably limited to 128Gb with the version of Linux on there, though. And you'll probably want to get a low-noise disk (the new Seagates are pretty quiet

Any plans to upgrade that version anytime in the forseeable future?

That 128gb statement in the other thread... Was it made by one of the Empeg guys? I don't remember.

I thought that the version of Linux that was on the HSX was a newer one which did support larger-than-128gb drives. Empeg guys: Clarification?

The Central uses kernel 2.4.17. I don't think that supports >128Gb without the IDE patchset, which we don't use.
