The wait is over - my Duet just arrived at my door. I ordered it from
Slimdevices last Friday. I am impressed by how fast it made it along
the West Coast up to Vancouver, Canada!
I should have ordered from you guys right away - instead I tried to
order from a local reseller. What a big mistake. T
I have been with slim devices since I bought 3 slimp3s many moon ago. I
used a Mac as my server and had quite a few issues initially and
remember my many emails to tech support were often from Sean himself,
and many of my issues were fixed in a day or two with the nightlies.
I now have 3 SBIIIs

That actually brings up an interesting point.
When Slim Devices was Slim Devices, that may have been the case as a
smallish company trying to break out and efficiently focus.
However as a part of Logitech now, is that

But I also agree that if you put too much in the SB itself, you may as well
use a HTPC. I like the current client/server model.

No reason to jump on him.

After a Squeezebox 2 and 3 I wasn't sure if I really needed a Duet.
I've played around with:
- laptop in a recliner in living room (too wonky)
- iPod Touch and iPeng (too slow)
- even have a Vista Media Center PC ... (ugh, TV recording is great but
Microsoft hasn't figured out Music)

looks like ur testing the S/N ratio of that frosty beverage.
the jive absolutely floors me. i'm rarely blown away by electronics,
in fact even my SB2 didn't impress me like this has. the only thing i
can compare it is my first exp with a Tivo, (series 2) and i think this
surpasses it.

Now that is why I have purchased from Slim Devices. Sean has always
been all over the forums responding to all sorts of posts. I have yet
to see the same behavior from any other company.
I have a SB3 now, and will be buying a Due

My experience with digital streaming goes back to the Rio/Dell Digital
Audio Receiver. No sync, no internet radio back then. It came with
software versioned 1.03, which never changed in the years that I
struggled with those things.
The Slim Devices hardware is great, certainly, but the I think t
Count me in too! Great product!
Using Rhapsody, Squeezecenter and the TiVo add-in for WHS on my NAS and
it works great. Was using MP3tunes prior to the NAS but I was
experiencing too many dropouts.
I only hope that someday I'll be able to stream to the duet controller,
that will be the icing
And they just keep coming with good stuff years after you bought your
device.
Had mine SB3 for two years or so and there are new features added all
the time whithout any extra cost.
Beat that "random company" if you can.

I meant to write this as soon as I got my Duet (last Friday) but am only
