Rating :  - Best piece of tech
The Squeezebox is probably one of the best overall tech/audio purchases Ive made. Combines both of my favorite hobbies, PCs and High Fidelity audio into an easy to use and access system. The key here is without sacrificing sound quality which is hard to find in other systems. The sound quality from the Squeezebox with its Burr Brown DACs is slightly better than my normal CD player. Personally I cant tell a difference between the Squeezebox with properly recorded flac files versus Onkyo/Marantz players. I would say on par with mid end $300 CD players. It is so convenient and enjoyable to have your entire collection at a press of a button and not have to swap out discs. When you get bored of cycling through your collection the Squeezebox also has streaming radio which I didnt care for at first but something I use now on a daily basis, my favorite being the UK station Absolute Radio. The remote control is pretty basic, UI is easy to understand and well thought out. Not at all intimidating for first time users and with a little bit of knowledge is easy to setup and connect to your network. One of my favorite features is using a cell phone, in my case a Sony Ericsson W995 to control the Squeezebox server. With any mobile device with WiFi you can just go to http://your.ip/handheld and access your entire music library and control everything from playback to volume. FWIW I chose the Classic over the Duet for the larger display and cheaper price. I knew beforehand that I was going to use a mobile device to access the server so I didnt really have a use for the Duet control, as cool as it looks. All in all the Squeezebox is one of the best additions Ive added to my HiFi system. All music lovers should grab one immediately, you wont regret it!
