That was the Receiver/Controller, aka Duet. Unfortunately, due to the cost of the Controller, the combo was priced at $400 vs. $300 for the Squeezebox3 being produced at the time. They then sold add-on Receivers for $150. The headless nature of the Receiver caused no end of problems during setup, because there was little usable feedback for troubleshooting problems. Because of that and because Logitech has largely abandoned new development of the Squeezebox product line, I wouldn't expect to see a replacement for the Duet or the Receiver. In any case, eliminating the screen from the Touch wouldn't subtract a lot from the retail price. Those little 4.3" touch screens are being produced by the millions and are fairly inexpensive. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91467 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
