I completely disagree. I want the Squeezebox to provide me with a useful, usable interface to deliver a S/PDIF stream of my music to remote corners of the house. I strongly prefer to choose the D/A, amplifier and speaker solutions which please my ear. I have no intrinsic objection to the analog line outs now provided, as long as the digital outs are also there, since they make the device more universally useful without greatly changing the device's power budget. I like to see attention paid to reliability of the stream (apparently a priority in the SB2) and low jitter (I don't know if the SB2 will be different in this way). In terms of physical repackaging, the only change I'd be particularly interested in seeing is a fairly gigantic display -- I find I have to squint to make out what's going on with my SB1 way across the bedroom. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
