My Newest NMT is theA-100....What am I missing?

[blackcows]

I have 4 A-100s in my house, working on buying a 5th on eBay. I think the most I have paid for any of them is $90. I use Yanofe to edit my NFOs and YAMJ (which I haven't updated in a long time) to build my jukebox and Aeon (also haven't updated in a while). For the most part everything works fine although I do have to restart my NMTs on occasion. I haven't visited the forum in a while, haven't had a need, but just wondering.....what am I missing out on, my system works great....my friends are wowed and jealous when they see how easy it is for us to watch movies. I would like to continue to expand my NMT network, any reason not to buy the A-100s that the rest of you are selling when you upgrade

If you're not using HD audio or full BluRay rips, you're not missing much. Maybe a little speed in YAMJ. Keep on buying them so more of us can upgrade.

The 200 series has a cpu that is around 3 times faster than the 100 series.

Network streaming is fast enough via even SMB for 1:1 Bluray copies, on the 100 series SMB peaked around 38Mb/s which some BD's exceed.

There are more formats supported and more codecs within those formats. There is NMJ and apps:-

There are quite a few new User developed apps as well. Things like squeezebox server, ipkg, etc.

The 200 series still has a few bugs to iron out, however as a longstanding A100 owner you'll know all about the firmware needing to mature.

I would assume that the 200 series can coexist with the 100 series? Maybe I will just pickup a 200 series and try it out.
