Sound quality from analog outputs: Squeezebox is better Sound quality from digital outputs: I can't tell the difference Ease of set-up and use: Apple wins: most people already know iTunes Flexibility: Squeeze wins, highly tunable in so many ways Supported file formats: Squeeze does more, except in the case of DRM'ed music. Serves multiple concurrent users: Only with Squeezecenter Cost: Airport express is only $99 per node, and is functionally similar to a SB Receiver at $150 ($135 right now in the sale). A two node solution need only cost $99 x 2 plus $239 for an 8GB iPod Touch(tm).
I think there is still strong value in the SlimDevices product line, particularly if analog sound quality is a key driver for you. Furhermore, there is a whole line of products to fit different usage models from the Boom at one end to the Transporter at the other. -- dsdreamer ---------------------- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58639 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
