Davidson Pros: excellent sound-quality Burr-Brown DAC (pretty much the best around)-Easy to configure, great interface - rock performance (no waiting when you hit play, and no network problems)-Designed for the IT people with IT people, but do not require a lot of writing and to start (and their documentation is great). -Price Cons:-The only thing I can think of is that it would be cool to have a USB port with USB Mass Storage support so you can use a USB hard drive connect directly to the puppy and rock and roll. However, this is just nit-picking, and they probably are not USB as it would to increase the price and would not give a lot of performance for many people. Details: Every once in a while a product is so ingenious that it reminds me why I love technology. I had read on the Squeezebox, and I thought it would be really cool. When I got once I realized it was slightly smaller and more elegant than I expected. It seems to be made of quality materials, and I'm very impressed with all this (and I thought the sound quality that disappointed me as most digital audio devices ... * cough * * cough * iPod * cough cough * * *). My brother and I connect it to the Denon receiver and speakers B & W, and turn it on. I immediately realized that I like the interface. He is agile, and slide transitions are really good. The screen is also good, so I'm starting to feel good about things right now. The configuration of this device was a breeze. It automatically detects the network (with SSID broadcast turned on) and I could get on the network in a matter of minutes without reading the manual. The SlimServer software for PC is also quite easy to install and configure, and I realized that was published the source code for the server software. I listened to some streaming radio, and I must say I was impressed with the quality of the radio stations I hate MP3 compression (I use FLAC), but the classical stations actually played pretty well in my ears. The best part is that radio stations just work. No problem. No network timeout strange. Only on request Radio by genre, city, etc. After playing around with the radio, I decided to listen to some FLAC that is really getting an idea of ​​the DAC and the loyalty of the player. My brother and I were swept away by the quality of the sound of my FLAC files. It works almost as good as his Denon CD player, and puts any other digital audio player I've ever heard of complete and utter shame. There are a lot of things I like about this product. The fact that they release the source and allows you to create custom plug-ins are cool. All this seems to be some damn good engineers created the "other people who will appreciate it. This thing is simply amazing for the price-performance, you can not beat it! 34 of 35 people found this review helpful. Excellent camera By Robert Klingsten The Squeezebox is a device great! The Squeezebox will not store music, you have another computer act as a "server" to contain the music files. This server runs a software called "Slimserver" and it will run on any Linux, and it also runs on Mac OS X and Windows (including Vista). I have over 400 CDs converted to stream FLAC (lossless) and they are perfectly from my server, even the average 30MB streaming FLAC files via 802.11g - no problem. You use a remote to work the Squeezebox, there are no buttons or anything on the device itself. You can also use a Web browser to connect to the SlimServer software and perform all the same functions as the remote control and more. One drawback I found was when I tried running the Slimserver on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit on my AMD Athlon 64 X2 (dual-core) system with 2gb RAM The web interface was pretty pokey and would.
