I'm probably forgetting a few things, but: - much better sound quality than a PC's onboard audio, without a pressing need for an external S/PDIF or USB DAC - better S/PDIF, with lower jitter - MUCH better audio syncing with other Squeezeboxes - IR remote control giving instant ability to skip, repeat, shuffle, change volume, as well select music, without a need for a smart phone, tablet or other wifi device - touch control, with no need to even find the remote - a color display of what's playing - very low energy use You can get some of this functionality with a PC and smart phone or other wifi device, but it _requires_ using the wifi device. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96208
