I was previously using a V3 in the kitchen, which was sat on top of the kitchen units. I've replaced this with a Duet and moved the V3 (I won't call it a "Classic" as it's a Slim rather than Logitech branded unit) into the living room - after giving it a thorough cleaning to get rid of the grease that's built up on it! :D
This player feeds a set of A-Part coaxial ceiling speakers via the analogue outputs. It does actually sound a bit better than the Squeezebox V3. My bathroom system uses the same setup as the original kitchen one, with a V3. I replaced the V3 with a Duet in the kitchen mainly to avoid the grease issues. I'd say that both the V3 and Duet are comparable to a good budget CD player via the analogue outs. The living room system uses the digital output from a V3 into an Arcam AV receiver powering Monitor Audio RX6s, so this is basically audiophile quality. The master bedroom has a V3 feeding a Yamaha DSP-AX620 AV receiver with Gale 4 speakers. This is a good mid-range system. Short version - if you're using the SPDIF output there's no difference between the different players. With analogue they'll compare favourably with a £200-ish CD player. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Squirrel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5785 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104449
