Frank dont worry re the Audya bashing, lots of us are very interested in your explanations of both good and bad on the Audya. I personnaly feel that the price is too high, however one expects that the first buyers will subsidize the r&d to make this board better and cheaper over time, also lets not forget that perfection at this time does not exist with any manufacturer or board, so give Ketron a go as they are probably paving the way for other makers to incorporate better features, however if you bash (and asking questions and for explanations is not bashing) you will turn all makers off trying new things, it will be the the same old everything as per the norms
