I beg to differ as I wrote that review: Operating everywhere from 20 feet to one and half floors away the quality of audio was directly related to what the file was set at. Some extremely high bitrate (320kb) started to drop when I tested the unit a floor and a half away, but thats only because my wireless signal strength was at 47% or so. If youre walls are thick, you had better hope your network has a repeater or booster on it if you plan on streaming that high of audio that far away.
Testing the unit with compressed and uncompressed audio formats was also ear opening. With an uncompressed WAV file of the exact same track it clearly sounds much better. The highs were outstanding, and the lows were crisp and clear. The 24bit decoding chip in the Squeezebox does amazing work. For compressed format was also sounding great but not as great as the uncompressed (naturally). Volume output from the device was consistent and was manageable with the receiver and the device. I found that optimal settings of output from the device was around 65%, and adjusting the audio output on my receiver from there proved less frustrating than trying to control two devices with two separate remotes. http://www.laptoplogic.com/reviews/detail.php?id=190&part=glance&page=2 -- simonsays ------------------------------------------------------------------------ simonsays's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15248 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42831
