u might be able to get some high end DVD players with USB ports...my dad's SACD player has firewire output <i think>

i'm not allowed near his setup at all <its musical fidelity, btw> and as far as flash drives are concerned, i saw a samsung DVD player tht cld read DivX and such formats from memory cards or SD, CF cards etc. otherwise, u'll hv to look for a portable media player or devices such as the X-Box.
I just had a peek now....no USB on the SACD player.... :roll: for all the money it cost, i'd hv thought it'll hv it....but the sound is just out of the world....its unbeleivable....hope i inherit the setup as it is someday
