Its my father birthday coming up, and I think I might get him this:

http://www.amazon.com/Denon-Wireless-Network-System-Speakers/dp/B000X3W3DG

Bascailly he wants an all in one system that does mp3s (network and ipod), CD (this one doesn't have it but I think we will pull through), AM/FM on it. This one also does Intarweb radio which I think it would be neat.

The "s52" version has a cd player, but its another $200 more and can only play 1 cd at a time, its not a changer which I think was his biggest issue. It has a few more tidbits as well.

Do you guys know if this is any good? Or is there something similar I should buy instead? I don't know what you would really call this sort of a thing.

Any help = sweet


Edit:

Wow I really fucked that title up, I was watching TV and typing this at the same time lol.

Interrsting little box there, man.

Yeah I figure I could setup a NAS that you could dump mp3's to that it could play, also that one has a decent ability to hook up to a receiver too so it could be more "permanent" but at the same time you could unplug it and take it somewhere else in/out of the house.

LMK if you find a NAS box that will run NTFS. I don't wanna re-format and re-copy 200GB of music, and I am just getting started on video.

I think FreeNAS does NTFS. I use it at work in a few places, but I don't bother with NTFS.

Ended up buying it off buy.com for $400 shipped. I found it for $345 plus shipping on another site, but it looked really lame and I had not heard or ordered from them before.

I hope buy.com will pricematch it for me. But if they don't it was only a $27 difference.

I will post it up when we get it.
