This doesn't quite have to be the case: look at Tivoli. Small, boombox-sized devices that give good sound. Also lots of forum users are suggesting the much-vaunted (yet quite cheap) T-amp chip as an amplifier. The only issue is small-sized yet good speakers, which is always a challenge. Slim/Logitech could never equal an SB3 connected to a very good audio system, but it doesn't have to be very low quality either. Just something decent. They'd be well-advised to omit digital output jacks, even analog output jacks, but should keep a headphone output. The SqueezeBoombox should be intended for situations where people currently have a second SB3 connected to self-powered monitors. This gives decent sound but such people likely have a primary system capable of much better sound. It doesn't make the SB3 any less capable. -- Mark Lanctot "It's like, you know, a New Age religion, but with better treble response." - Jon Heal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25805 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
