Remember, this wasn't something I was expecting people to buy - just a way of getting more reviews, as and reputable magazine only review stuff you can buy. A magazine review comparing music-serving solutions is pointless if the amps are different and everyone would want a different amp. Imagine this for a review: blah blah blah.... The Slimserver Deluxe package has everthing you need for a serious system. You just need to buy the amp and we recommend the <blah>. In addition not only does this package alone beat the Phillips <blah>, the Sonos <blah> and the Yamaha <blah> but if you already own a faster computer, a Palm or want to use your MAC, use another DAC or want any further flexibility you can also just purchase the basic Squeezebox and add these features - something the Phillips, the Sonos, and the Yamaha don't provide. CONCLUSION Phillips: Price 1, Audio 5, Flexibility 1 Sonos: Price 1, Audio 5, Flexibility 1 Yamaha: Price 1, Audio 5, Flexibility 1 Squeezbox Deluxe: Price 1, Audio 5, Flexibility 3 All the players are expensive and inflexible (SB Deluxe does have a web interface and you can play Quake on it's computer so we give it 3), all sound the same, there is nothing really seperating them. We say forget all of these players and build you own Squeezebox setup staring with just the great value unit itself because chances are you already have a network, a computer, a DAC and other things. -- 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
