That Wyred 4 Sound m-Int integrated amplifier looks interesting. Too bad it has a DAC in it. I wonder if it is optional.
Thanks Maxvia! Certainly in keeping with their established look. I will await the final price/specs when they release it.
$2K for a server. I might just buy another full blown iMac instead.
I'd love to get all my gear on shelves with a 21" iMac in the middle acting as a music server. I've had that vision in my head for awhile. Still planning to shoot for it some day.
I'm using a 24" iMac with a second screen and 4 1TB external drives but I also use the iMac for the Web, DAW work and photoshop so I'd like to get the music end over to something else.
I wish W4S would put out something detailed about their new server because I cannot understand why any server is so expensive.

Agreed.
The W4S server boasts of allowing us to use an iDevice as the remote. Are there any apps out there which will allow us to do the same while using an iMac? Or a PC?
Yes. Apple actually makes a Remote app that works well with iPhone and even better with an iPad. Control your entire library directly from your iDevice.
There are also trackpad apps if you literally want full control.
I was hoping that at $2K the server would come with some sort of remote device also, like some sort of touch device. Although I have a hefty Mac setup I do not own an iPad or an iPhone ( Have a 3 year old clamshell phone because I make only 3 calls a month one for chinese take out the other 2 for pizza).
So I'm still waiting to see the deep details of the W4S server.

What a price. I don't think I could come up with the justifications necessary to spend that kind of dough on a music server.
I, like you WA, have been looking for a way to get my music off-computer but as of now the most cost effective solution I have been able to think of is to use a headless Mac Mini and the idevice remotes that MT brought up.
