Yes. Wouldn't actually need any SB hardware upgrades, could work fine
as a backwards upgrade for SB1 and 2 also.
2 LDR sensor for automatic display brightness
(and lower light levels for bedroom use).
Seems like a good idea.

SB3 is not quite i2s ready, only because the data format is shifted
by one bit position.
The reason was just a matter of convenience - the DAC supported

A room correction system would be very nice.
Ideally it should work in client/server mode, with the Slimserver doing
most of the number crunching.
Can also receive update via the Internet, given the network nature of
the box.

Actually, i2s barely begins to solve the problem. Sure, it eliminates

Why not push the boat out all together.
Add an atomic clock to the SB2 to eliminate a clock derived jitter
altogether. The clock signal could also be used to keep the SB's in
synch. Instead of just synching at the start of each song, the SB's
could synch regularly. Say every 4 or 5 seconds. At
Keep it simple, and modular I say.
For me:
1 Scroll wheel in the remote (like in a mouse)
2 LDR sensor for automatic display brightness
(and lower light levels for bedroom use).
3 Proper Geekport with a relay output for amplifiers.
Maybe a serial interface for addon modules, like room
I'll be damned. I just bought my SB3, so I really don't hope they'll

Well, it won't be too soon. They haven't done the requisite price drop
yet.

Yeah but those are ~$10K lasers. ;-)
Also regarding dimming the display for bedroom use - brightness 1 is as
low as the VFD can go. See the technical documentation on the VFD in
SlimServer Help.

I'm thinking if they DO offer a high-end SB4 (at say $799), they may
not drop the price of the now reasonably-priced $299 SB3.

I2S output as an alternative to SPDIF!!! This is not a big deal
technically, but would allow to pretty much eliminate jitter associated
with SPDIF design flaws.
At this very moment there are just few DAC boxes that can receive I2S,
but it's gaining moment tremendously.

I don't think we will see anything that radical for some of the reasons
expressed here. easiest win imho would be an evolution towards a
product like the acoustic energy wifi radio. Its suprising how net
radio listening features some of these forums. So my guess is a SB plus

What about the odd button on it, like playstop, for when one has
a bit of trouble locating the remote.
Like the idea of a very good dac inside to save another box appearing,
and I like the SB2 size, as SB3 would not fit my shelf space, even
thought I sort of think the SB3 looks a bit
It seems as if some of the changes people are mentioning would be
changes to Slimserver, not upgrades to the Squeezebox.

The idea of an audiophile SB to me is a non-starter. Why would an
audiophile want a SB w/an integrated amplifier? Audiophiles shun
integrated amplifiers, unless they are the ones that cost several
thousand dollars. Adding a higher-end DAC to the SB also would be
difficult, due to size
Well, if its open season for wishes -
I wish it had a case with integrated amplifier capable of running a
couple of small speakers, and a snooze bar on the top. It should be
capable of being mounted under a cabinet or shelf, or used on a side
table or desk. The snooze bar would make it into a
Slim Devices has a policy of not commenting on products under

Unlike some competitors (e.g., Roku), they don't hype vaporware.

OK no-one is gonna tell about product development but heres what I would
like to see:
1. Graphic (d-sub/dvi/hdmi) output with some nice options to play
visuals on a plasma TV or monitor
2. Form-factor Options of tall (as now) or slimline versions (similar
to SB2)
3. Even higher resolution
See the problem is, you can never satisfy everybody as their needs and
wants are different. For example, and no offence here:
