Why do I stick with Squeezebox? The software updates are frequently irritating (I've turned off automatic updates after 7.5.5) and the clients are not exactly intuitive. But, at the time I bought my first one (see sig) there simply wasn't a viable and affordable alternative. My brother-in-law bought Sonos and, while he's had none of the wireless networking issues I enjoy, he has had many library management issues with the system simply not seeing some sources. And he's an Apple fanatic as well! Plus I think my system looks and sounds better than his. Until the Sonos Play 3 there wasn't an equivalent to Boom (better bring in Boom 2 quickly guys) and the Radio is still the best. Touch is flawed but unbeatable for the price IMHO. Would I buy again? Maybe. I've been a Naim fan for years and may have gone the Uniti route had it arrived earlier or if I was starting out now. But I've also realised that I'm now retired with 60-year-old years so income and hearing are now both "sub-optimal". I'm now the weak link in the audio chain. Heck - I've also just splashed out on a Revox PR99 MK2 reel-to-reel tape recorder so what does that tell you about me? Bottom line - still good value for money but not recommended for techno-phobes. Thank you and good night.
