I agree with you. It's the fact that so many people are reporting problems of various sorts with the Phantoms that makes me feel a bit twitchy about them. I guess that in about a year Devialiet may have sorted out most of the problems, and there are no guarantees that the Kii will works straight off; but the latter do seem to require less needy network stuff...

Dunno. Good luck to both. Both are at the vanguard of modern hi-fi (meaning high fidelity to the source) I'd say.
