Well that , and more so, because of the delay, I guess they stripped down a linux distro which got less delay than windows did..

Originally posted by Nou BTW sound quality is not bad, I hve used it on a 3k watt system and a 8k watt system and MP3's at 192kbps sound just fine (no where near as good as a fresh cut vinyl though) but just as good as a CD. Anyways, just thought I would clear that up.

Um, you're implying that 192 kbps MP3s sound as good as CDs and that CDs sound far worse than vinyl. Both of those are highly debatable but the first is clearly erroneous -- MP3s of any bitrate will never sound as good as CD or vinyl, and the louder you play them the more obvious this difference is. However it's a moot point because you shouldn't be playing MP3s anyway unless you're just messing around at home...
