Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] My perfect audiophile box
I have used the SB3 and now the Touch for this purpose . The display is not unnecessary you need it for easy setup , the receiver's lack of UI makes really awkward to setup and configure and fault trace sometimes . This could easily have been fixed by some remote UI to take care of this but logitech did not go that way (see a typical router web-UI hint hint). Touch is not 100£ or $ or Eur but it has good wifi reception better than my SB3 or Reciever 24/96 outputs which would qualify it as audiphile and good quality spdif. Removing the screen and stuff would probably not make it much cheaper than it is . Actually having one more product in the squeezebox line would only increase total costs for logitech the current line up cater for most user cases. For your use you have the choice of Reciever , which fits your description quite well Or Touch who does it better . Both have more stuff then you need but so does every product these days. But they cover you intended use. These products is suitable to connect to your stereo(s) or home cinema(s) amps or powered speakers . (this does not stop some from trying with radios or booms headphone out with some awkward sisde effects) . For stand alone use with built in speakers, Radio or Boom . A New product would be an upgrade of the boom or receiver they are the last with the old cpu .
