[QUOTE="clone, post: 2810700, member: 571539"] Speaking of power, I checked on the Kenwood X891 and while they don't specify the power per unit, they have a usb support page that specifies that the power must be 500mA or less. Again, the highest unit I saw specified on that page was the X890 so who knows if they've upped this power. The thing I am noticing is that these usb heads are mostly geared to thumb/flash drives and ipod. It's too bad as I'd much rather just get a 200gig drive and put all my music in a lossless codec of some type. I guess until the mainstream moves from CDs and Ipods, that will be the focus. I'd sure like a unit that handled FLAC or some of the other nice codecs so we'd at least have the option of doing lossless, etc. [/QUOTE]
