Fantastic double CD of Mozart Symphonies 38-41 conducted by Charles Mackerras. Perhaps the finest & gutsiest account of the G-minor symphony I've heard this decade. And best of all, it's released by Linn Records, so you can purchase either CD/SACD or the Studio Master FLAC. Yummy!

After posting a message over in the jazz section and rereading the thread on Herbie Hancock's River I was reminded of the very excellent Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint video "Hot as a Pistol, Keen as a Blade". Recorded back in 2006 during a concert in Montreal the DVD features 30 classic Costello songs with many of the songs getting new horn arrangements by the incomparable Allen Toussaint. Elvis is in rare form and the entire concert is a winner: all meat and no filler.

Well worth checking out.

The hard part of having a large computerized library is software. Dedicated high end solutions have proprietary software. PC have lots of media player software but they drive output from the PC. Slim is open, but media player software does not allow you to direct to a Slim device for output. The Klimax DS would be just perfect for me (I also own plenty of HiRes downloads) if it enabled me to uncouple the software player interface (PC) from the data (NAS) and the DAC (KDS). Linn says they support PnP AV 2 standards, but what media player software supports that?
