Good to see. Would be interesting to ask them what defines a top-end and what they think about comparing the SB3 with the top-end models they reviewed. In audio I've always thought top-end meant the sound and nothing else and not hearing the other devices it would be interesting how they compared to a SB3 with a dedicated DAC.
If you're in top-end only audio type worth bothering with is FLAC, plus ability to have access to lossy radio - maybe. Any sort of remote control with a screen can easily be substituted for some sort of PalmPilot type device. You're rich so expense of a computer is not a concern and no doubt one is already ownded. With a computer connected a million other options are opened. Ease of use of ripping might be but you could argue a properly configured PC with EAC is not going to be harder to use (and achieve better quality) than any device that accepts CD's. And also, there's always the "we rip your CD's" option for the seriously rich or lazy. Maybe just for rich people who don't know how to choose the other stuff or magazine reviews against the true expensive/hi-end stuff SlimDevices should offer the "SqueezeBox Ultra Package" comprising of a SB3, a "cool looking" PC, wireless router, Color Palm "Remote", dedicated DAC and a free FLAC rip of up to 500 CD's. -- Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=213 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18417 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
