That's a more high-level device with loads of storage (4TB). I am not sure at this point whether it will accommodate streaming services, though. At least I can try the Bluesound Node for its effectiveness and either keep it (for its streaming services capability) or sell it (if the Geek Source accommodates streaming services) once the Geek Source arrives.
I'm on the line for one of these as well...I'm a little nervous about how the UX will turn out though.
adhesiv, Yeah, I got caught up in the promise of a low cost to value music server and wonder what I will get in the end. Usually I read tons of stuff before I plunk down my money but I got caught in the hype of something that promised to be better than the Auralic ARIES. I guess we just have to wait and see...
