I received an iPod Hi-Fi Box today along with another SB3, in black. Listening to "The Girl From Ipanema Radio" on Pandora Radio. What an experience!
The Squeezebox and Hi-Fi first of all, look fantastic together. Same frontal silhouette, scaled up. Same curves. No visible buttons or knobs on either. The Hi-Fi has capacitance-sensitive volume spots. Square S/PDIF to mini-plug optical connection. The sound is extremely clear, with a tight acoustic suspension sound (though it is a ported design). Intimate imaging, probably due to the unusual experience of high quality drivers playing so close together. Can play loudly yet cleanly. When you add Pandora Radio to the mix, I can't imagine a simpler, more uncluttered, and mindless way to enjoy great music. I don't have 6 D-cells on hand, but I have a set of 11,000 mAH NiMH's on order. I've read that the maximum volume gets limited under DC power, but to my ears there is plenty of reserve. This thing could rock in a vacation house. I think this combo is succinct, elegant, and great! +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: IMG_5736.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=966| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- walterrho ------------------------------------------------------------------------ walterrho's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4029 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21695 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
