Hi everyone, I currently have a squeezebox 3 that I use for something like 10 years now. I'm very happy with it, the LMS with all the fantastic plugins : trakstat, musicip, irblaster, and so on. It works ok so far but I would look for a better sound, it's notably better when I play the same music from the CD player, and also I'm a bit afraid that if my squeezebox comes to stop working, I would be very upset. I was thinking about buying the squeezebox touch, there are still some to sell, it's about 800 euros on amazon, that's not little, but I would then have a brand new squeezebox that looks nicer, it can play 24 Bit/96khz music files, and have a better dac than the squeezebox 3. Alternatively, I could keep my squeezebox 3, buy a good external DAC not too expensive, like http://www.whathifi.com/review/arcam-irdac, connected with the optical, and maybe I would have a better sound than with the touch.
I have a quite good (though not audiophile) Denon hi-fi amplifier with Audio Reference floorstanding speakers. They're quite old, something like 20 years and costed me at that time about 300 euros for the amplifier and 600 for the speakers. I'm not thinking to replace them at the moment, because of the money and also I like the "old style" they have. What do you think ? better buy the touch before they're totally sold out and then eventually by an external DAC later, or go for a better dac now ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Antoniop's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101698 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
