was looking at the specs for the new model and it says it has a volume leveller as a new feature. I thought this would be a software(slimserver) thing? and Does that mean that the second one doesn't have this facility?

That is the replay gain feature I think, it wasn't available on the official SB2 software release.

However, the 6.2 version works fine, so that is a feature on the SB2 (I use it on mine!)
