Well I got an Apple TV and Airport express for what I sold my SB3 alone
for, and with external DACs are fine for my use. My SB3 was rarely used,
someone else can get more enjoyment off it now. The Apple TV will
provide netflix and GarageBand duties etc for the kids and the Airport
express means my wife can use the BBC iPlayer app in the kitchen
relatively trouble free. 

I guess we are all different. I don't intend to use the Apple stuff
forever, I realise it's limitations. My life is in a state of flux and
one day when I have more funds I will be tracking down the Transporter I
always wanted. 

As I said, it's a sad day and not a decision I took lightly. But it
makes sense to me right now. I really just wanted to say thanks for the
good times :)

Long live the Squeezebox.



Cheers, auto.
