I have been looking at the EMPEG for the past 3 (or so) years and now that I finally can afford one, it's been discontinued. Does anyone know of a player that closely compares to the concept behind EMPEG? If any of you still look at the new plyers coming out, do you see anything nearly as good?

I would like to build one, but realistcally speaking, I don't have the time to figure it all out nor the expertise to make it as good. Any input you've got would be helpful.
Thanks,
Brent
