??? From everything I've seen, it does support flac (including the info from the newegg link you provided).
Too bad about Jim's reliability reports. It looks interesting. Seems like the new upgraded version, WD TV Live, supports an ethernet connection, including a connection to a wireless ethernet hub. Looks like it could be a cheaper solution than the squeezebox if you have a tv close by and don't mind using your tv as your music interface.
Anyway, I don't know that I'd want it for audio files since I already have a squeezebox, but it does have me wondering about using it for HT video. :hmmm:

Same here, aside from my personal gear
I would need FLAC to make it worthwhile

You keep coming back to this. Could you please explain what is missing? Everything I read on this thing says it has FLAC support.

Looks interesting - with a nice price point too.
And as you mentioned, it lists FLAC as supported:

:lol: I resemble this remark. Also when I show up said broken thing starts magically working as if sensing my jedi presence. It's better than being known as the guy who when he shows up things break.

I tested FLAC on it and verified that it was bit perfect by recording the audio stream. But it is only bit perfect when playing 48khz or under. 96kHz files are resampled to 48kHz. But it can play 24-bit 96kHz FLAC files.
