Wow!, congratulations on another product release! I bought a Squeezebox 3 like 2 months ago (The one with the VFD display :) ), so here are my first main observations:
Differences of Squeezebox 3 (SB3) vs. Squeezebox Receiver (SBR) The SBR doesn't have a headphone jack. The DAC from SB3 is a Burr-Brown™ 24-bit DAC, and the one on the SBR is a Wolfson® 24-bit DAC. The Total harmonic distortion on the SB3 is less than -93.5dB (0.002%) and on the SBR is less than -88dB (0.002%) (no idea what this means :P ). The SB3 has 64MB of RAM while the SBR has 32MB. The SBR doesn't have a VFD. The SB3 costs $299 and the SBR costs $149. So I see that both are not very diferent in terms of arquitecture / functions, so I guess a SBR can be synchronized with a SB3 or maybe even a SB2 for music playback from Squeezecenter? As for the Squeezebox Controller (SBC), it seems there is a headphone jack on the SBC pics, what purpose does it have? Also I'm not very clear with this: -Bridging capability allows Ethernet devices to connect to the network through Squeezebox Receiver's wireless connection-. Does it mean the SBC can connect to the network through the SBR instead of connecting directly to the wireless router for example? I wish you great success with your new products! -- pichonCalavera *rip* (eac) > *convert* (flac) > *tag* (musicbrainz) > *normalize* (replaygain/foobar2000) > *albumart* (winamp) > *transport* (winscp) > *store* (debian) >*rescan* (slimserver) > *play* (squeezebox) > *hear* (sennheiser) > *scrooble* (last.fm) > *enjoy* (me :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pichonCalavera's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13068 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813
