Isn't the Apple Hifi thing just an active speaker with Ipod port?

The JVC is even cooler since it has wireless usb connection that allows you to play music on it via your PC.

And, yes, this thing has been out for like almost 2 years.

I clicked the picture hoping it would lead me to an enlarged picture of the washer but to no avail. Samsung has the best models... of electronics.

It's a radio and center channel speaker hybrid.

SPDIF will travel along any good quality coaxial wire no matter what type of connection be it RCA, Mini-jack, or BNC. To hook the new Mac Mini to an external DAC or home theater receiver, just get a Mini-jack to RCA cable. Not sure you can get away with cheapies tho. The cable has to be decent in terms of resistance uniformity since DACs and receivers do not reclock digital information like USB receivers do.

I might get this new Mini Mac. I just bought the G4 Mini Mac last week and returned it yesterday because it doesn't play H.264 reliably. The players I dled are not stable on the Mac. It could be the players', Mplayer and VLC, fault. But, G4 is way too slow to process H.264 efficiently anyways. The video would stutter and drop frames.

I'd be dropping by an Apple store with my portable notebook drive to play a few movies on them. Having a digital output is a great improvement with me being an audiophile... definitely will use it with an external dac.
