Depending on when you need to buy, you should also consider the SB Classic, or wait a couple of months for the Touch. I think of the Classic as the entry level drug into the world of SqueezeBox. It works, its simple, it sounds good. and its cheap. The Duet is a bit trickier for some folks to get setup. It has the advantage of the Controller, which is cool. > I also want to be able to experiment with hi-res (24/96, > probably no more), and Room Correction (have been fascinated with that > since reading about the TACT Audio years ago). If you really need 24/96 then you need TP, or the future Touch, I forget whether the other models feed a DAC. But thinking DAC starts you into more expensive territory right away. When I got my first SqueezeBox, I found that I spent a lot more money on CDs. A lot. So my advice is start small, get more. So far, I've got three SB, Transporter, Duet, Boom and a beta Touch -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
