Here's the review: http://tinyurl.com/ll4ox
THE GOOD PART: "In terms of performance, the Squeezebox is a class act. The unit's Burr Brown digital-to-analog converter makes audio sound crisp, clear, and vibrant through the analog outputs, while the digital connections further provide ample flexibility for connecting the unit to just about any A/V receiver or speaker set, for instance. Wireless audio streaming performance was consistently smooth and hiccup-free." THE BAD: "In the final analysis, we really like the Squeezebox but have problems with paying a 50 percent premium over the excellent $200 Roku SoundBridge M1000, which offers many of the same features, plus some you won't get on the Squeezebox, such as support for DRM-protected WMA files and Rhapsody streaming." THE SQUISHY MIDDLE-GROUND: "That said, the Squeezebox does boast superior physical and user-interface designs, and it includes a few high-end features (better networking support, compatibility with lossless file formats) that may well be worth the extra money for those who will find them useful. If it's within your price range and you don't need to stream copy-protected audio, the latest Squeezebox should be near the top of your list." -- ezkcdude SB3->Derek Shek TDA1543/CS8412 NOS DAC->MIT Terminator 2 interconnects->Endler Audio 24-step Attenuators (RCA-direct)->Parasound Halo A23 125W/ch amplifier->Speltz anti-cables->DIY 2-ways + Dayton Titanic 10" subwoofer He's not hi-fi, he's my stereo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ezkcdude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2545 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24049 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
