I heard a rumor that Logitech product management has now recognized that: -In 2020, 80% of the music business will be streaming content -That their SlimDevices Squeezebox line may have been 10 years ahead of its time. -That there still isn't a product on the market that streams as easy or as well as the original SB3 Classic and Squeezebox Touch, even 10 years later. -That even now, years past purchase, they have a large, loyal, dedicated fan base with a hunger for a new product. -That the vast majority of stereo owners would love to move to streaming but don't need a new receiver or amp, just something to deliver the music.
I also heard they are contemplating a simple update to Squeezebox Touch 2020: -Same physical design with upgraded DAC, WIFI and Screen -Build a focus on streaming first and easy setup, with full integration of Apple Music, Google Play, Spotify, Qobuz, Tidal, Amazon Music/HD/Ultra HD and others through mysqueezebox.com -Full support for all streaming formats, bitrates and resolutions -Bitperfect output via digital outs up to 24/192 for those with external DACs. -Robust integration with Alexa, Siri and Google assistants -Updated Optional LMS with Roon like features for hard core audio folks managing large local libraries That's what I heard anyway. And by heard, I mean, that's what I day dreamed about this afternoon while looking at CES 2020 highlights. Come on Logitech, get back in the game. You could still be the standard bearer of the streaming age. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dmcdayton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111449 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
