I’ve read four reviews of the Cocktail Audio X10 and all of them
mentioned the hard drive noise.  One reviewer (Hi-Fi Choice) called it
“constant drone from the drive”.  I find this unfortunate because this
unit is designed to sit next to (or be) your stereo.  The same reviewer
said the analog outs were “not in the same league as a Squeezebox Touch”
(the device does have digital outs though).  I used to think I wanted an
all in one (rip, store, play) solution, but have come to realize the
short comings with it.  None of the reviews I read said anything about
multi-room capability (although that does not necessarily mean it’s not
there).

Reading about these streaming devices makes me appreciate Squeezebox
even more.

I have no desire to “upgrade” any of my Squeezebox devices to UE.  
Having to use “the cloud” to access my local files seems weird to me,
and I only listen to my local music.
I do however think UE might be a good solution for people who only
listen to internet radio.
