So this: "..Music stored on a USB driver is not scanned into your Sense music library" in my opinion, I discredit this device, and it look like other models have the same limitation. Meanwhile, your competition can handle it via USB, I am disappointed with your offer

Tethering USB drives to the streamer like this is quite detrimental to the noise floor of the USB subsystem and does affect sound quality, this is why we choose not to have it fully integrate into the library. You achieve much greater results by having a device with properly integrated internal storage, such as the ZENmini. Some features and designs do need to be considered very carefully when it comes to how it might affect overall sound quality.
