Squeezeboxes and only shut them down for long
vacations. I figure I spend about $12 per year in extra electric
charges.

1. Squeezebox Controller (Duet) - Instant on and quick response
2. Logitech Squeezebox iPod App - Works most like the Squeezebox
3. iPeng - Menus can jump around and multiple players show up at times

If you have a universal remote, the Squeezebox uses JVC DVD remote
codes. I don't know the equivalent of the brightness key, which is used
for some alternate functions, but the basic transport and 10 key/t9
functions are somewhat intuitive.

By the way, I still love the physical design of my old Squeezebox
Classic with silver bottom, looks a lot better and less plastic compared
to the newer Squeezebox Touch.
I agree. The Classic also had one of my ultimate control schemes that
actually was introduced with the RCA
Four Slim Devices Squeezebox 3 (one decommissioned and now a spare with
Touch purchase)
Two Duets (one in box as spare)
One Touch
Two Controllers (used with Touch SB3)

I have all 3 and find the Touch sounds best, with a tossup between the
Duet and SB3, with a slight edge to the latter.

You could buy a 2 channel stereo receiver from Sony or Best Buy's
Insignia for $149/$129 each respectively and a SB3 or Duet Receiver for
each room. Yes you don't need the tuner section but you get an amp with
at least 75 watts of clean power (the Sony is rated 100 watts a 1khz)
per channel,
Keep in mind that Bluetooth is a lossy transmission method, so you throw
all semblance of quality out the door when you use it. Sonos and
Squeezebox uses lossless transmission protocols over wi fi and are bit
accurate up to the limits of the DAC in the SB or Sonos device which can
be 24/96 for

Sounds like I will not be sacrificing quality or features by going the
squeezebox route with the individual small amps at the same time saving
close to $2k. I wonder if anyone out there has gone this route.
Squeezebox 3 (SB3), Duets or Touch devices as the signal source.

Are you worried about the discontinued service down the road. I have a
new house build and am debating to go the squeezebox route which I
absolutely love or go the sonos route which I hear is seamless.
No, I just purchased a second Touch as a spare and also have a second
No problem with the Logitech app and an Asus Transformer TF300 .
