Re: [slim] Squeezebox Receiver and Controller now shipping!
I received the Controller the other day. Thank you for selling it individually so quickly after the Duet launch. I'm very impressed with all the features it is packing, and look forward to its evolution. However, I do have one minor gripe that I am wondering about: the high gloss black finish seems to scratch very easily, so easily that gently placing it in the charger, or removing it from the charger, can cause minor scratching. The mat black finish seems to show finger prints too, even when handled with very clean hands. Are there any plans to offer a plastic laminate cover, or maybe silicon skin thing a la iPod case? maybe a model with aluminum case for a bit more $? Or is it possible that I got unlucky and received an early production model for which the polymer science wasn't quite perfected? Any ideas or solutions would be appreciated. In all fairness, the Controller looks great, and generally seems to be a hearty device. The one-handed usability is nice too, especially considering any comparable solution / competitors product requires two hands to operate. -- ninthsrw2 ninthsrw2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17531 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47354 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Receiver and Controller now shipping!
SD's pricing on the Duet may be derived as a market position relative to Sonos technology, but $400 for that product seems wrong to this long time electronics consumer. Considering it's only $100 more than a regular SB3, the price seems pretty good for what you're getting.Considering it's substantially less than it's nearest competitor, it seems even better. With the receivers being available for $150 by themselves, it brings populating the house with zones that don't necessarily need a display of their own within reach of a much wider audience - and with the SBC, you get a really slick way to control them.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Receiver and Controller now shipping!
Just curious (and call me stupid if this info is on the website, because I don't see it), in terms of internal hardware and sound quality, are the Receiver and my SqueezeBox 3 essentially the same, or not? I'm considering getting more devices for my home, and not sure which to look at. Secondly, does the controller easily switch between wireless networks? I live in a 3-story house made entirely of steel-reinforced concrete. Each floor must have its own separate wireless bridge, since the wireless signal can't penetrate between floors. Each bridge has its own frequency and security PIN, so when a wireless device moves from one floor to another it has to log on as if to a new network (all these bridges are different brands, so that's how I have to do it), though they all connect to the same home network. So the question is: if I carry the Controller between floors, it will lose one signal and locate another. Can I save multiple security settings in it so that it automatically logs on each time it loses one signal and finds another?

The SB3 and SBR use different DACs, and you should head over to the audiophile forum to find out if one's better than the other. For most people, the performance will be equally good! The main difference between the two is the lack of display on the Receiver, and the pricing. Eventually the Receiver and Controller will be sold separately, so you can add cheaper Receivers to your system without doubling up on Controllers. One controller can control any number of SB3/SBR/Transporters since it connects to Squeezecenter, not the devices themselves.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Receiver and Controller now shipping!
billingsgate;300361 Wrote: Just curious (and call me stupid if this info is on the website, because I don't see it), in terms of internal hardware and sound quality, are the Receiver and my SqueezeBox 3 essentially the same, or not? I'm considering getting more devices for my home, and not sure which to look at. From what I've gathered, using the Receiver without the Controller is not officially supported. I would assume they're beig sold as added players for installations that already have a Controller or for advanced users willing to use third-party software needed for setting up the Receiver without a Controller. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47354 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Correct, we will only support users with Squeezebox Controllers at this point. Use of the in dev setup plugin will not be officialy supported.

Hadn't seen your message, but check the web site every morning. I just bought my second receiver.

I know a few people who live in studio appartments and play their music from the computer but who could benefit from having a smart remote to control their computer (which could just be running SC and SoftSqueeze).
