Not bought one but did check them out of curiosity more than anything else. Decided a reasonably priced HTPC or indeed a latop would provide better bang for the buck and perform a wider range of functions more capably. Of course you'd need an amp, dac and speakers but these could all be bought for under £150 and give you a system you can adapt and grow as time goes on.

So, what the hell is a cocktail x10?

It's a server like the olive stuff but much cheaper,can be used just with some speakers or hooked up to a dac via optical,a 2tb hard drive and around £400 I think,interesting on the face of it ?

Thanks for that, James. I hadn't heard of it before :)

I've recently emailed cocktail audio and they say their new version will have a coaxial output,think I'll hang on as I only have 1 in left on my bushmaster and maybe the software biggies key have been sorted by then.
