For the record, all... I've deployed a number of the AudioActive Realtime
Internet Encoders by now, and am generally disappointed by the sound
quality of their encoder as compared to a PC playing the MP3 files directly
through Winamp/Shoutcast. I also spent a lot of money on conditioning gear
but I'm not really getting maximized quality out of the 56K stream.
That said, nothing beats a device that's rack-mountable, purpose-built and
that has a simple OS on it with no BSOD.

Note: I've got several Internet Encoders and several Omnia.nets on the
go. As a pure Compressor/Limiter/Gate/EQ/etc. the Omnia.net is a wickedly
cool product. Once I learn how to use it better I'm sure signal quality
will improve.
