wireless and sexy

sorry i haven't posted for an absolute age. i finally made the jump from permanent employee to contractor three or four weeks ago, and i'm only now just getting settled in. hope the pain of my absence hasn't been too much.

anyways, i really like the look of logitech's new wireless dj music system. it's what you would expect from a wireless music system - it allows you to play your music files, located on your pc/mac, through your stereo system, er... wirelessly. however, instead of having another box sitting on top of your home entertainment seperates, controlling it through the remote, this thing *is* the remote. everything is done through the remote control, using it's lcd screen and a clickable scroll wheel - yes, like those ipod things. the thing just looks... sexy.

i've wanted one of these type of things for ages, and came very close to buying a soundbridge last month, and then a squeezebox a couple of weeks ago, but i think i'm now going to go for one of these babies. i bought a logitech harmony 525 remote control last week, and i can't say how impressed i am with it, so i'm going to give this dj music system a go as soon as it hits the streets. my only disappointment is that it doesn't have an optical or coaxial connection to your amp/receiver, instead using standard rca input jacks, but surely that must have been considered during the design and testing process, and the sound quality should still be the shit.

no news on when it's released yet, but i'll let y'all know as soon as i have mine, and i've used - and heard - the thing.
