I've never been a great fan of the industrial design of the squeezebox in either incarnation but this looks great. I love the curves on the case edge and whilst it wouldn't match any of my other kit it is more than any other the item to put on show. The row of identical buttons along the bottom don't suggest 'form follows function' has been the design mantra but look good.
Even the remote looks a cut above (and much more of a match for the SB3 than the current model - after market upgrade anyone?)
The knob is cool, the twin displays will be full configurable (a new version of music info screensaver anyone?) and can be switched off for the minimalist look.
It's a lot of money but not for an audiophile product. Those connections parts and case will have cost a packet.
Heres hoping for the trickle down product before too long - same case and controls, standard SB3 parts inside. 300usd ;-) I'll dream on. ...
