Hey,

I did not mean to imply that we would release more colors before Christmas.
If I left you with that impression, I apologize.

We have our hands full with white and black.

The Squeezebox is made by people who truly love digital music, and powered
by open-source software that plays almost any music or internet radio
format...It looks gorgeous.

Unfortunately I also have the same view. At the moment my SB's
are all in racks/spaces where a higher form factor wouldn't work.

I love the Squeezebox (1 sb1, 2 sb2's, further three contemplated
for next year when building work is done, home demos leading to
at least 5 other purchases...). Still, EBay will be cheaper than
buying them new.

It's not such a big deal for the SB3, since it doesn't add any
features over the SB2, and I can be confident that any firmware
advances will also apply to my existing SB2's.

However, the SB4 next year (start the rumours already) will
probably follow the new form factor, and if it adds new features
I'll miss out.

Also, I guess that the new vertical board arrangement with
right-angle sockets would make it hard to re-case in a lower profile
box without replacing the sockets.

will keep updating it?
Also, has squeezenetwork been enabled for the wma audio now?

Squeeze Box is NOT one of them. You got the internals right first, and then, finally, got a nice case as well.

Please note I'm referring to one of the internal regulator chips, not

see the audiophile forum for more about jitter.

>From what I understand there are no significant improvements in

Regardless, how can you feel burned? It's 6 months since they
released the SB2. I'm curious what you think they should have
done instead? Delayed release of the SB3 for longer? Or
announce at the beginning of the year their release plans for the next
12 months?

Slim Devices already does many,many things that no other company would
do for their customers. I think that encourages us to think that
they are just a group of our friends who are making cool things for us
and that they aren't actually a business. They do have to do what
makes sense from a business perspective, if they're going to make money
and continue to exist as a company.

I'm not sure I undserstand the moaning and groaning about the height.


I think it's just a handy excuse.  As for me, I was joking.

 Completely different layout and mechanicals. I'll post pics next week.


Is the processor board/module different too, or just the main PCB?

Simply put, Slim Devices' Squeezebox2 is the best product in its class.
You're not buying a computer peripheral, but rather a superbly engineered
audiophile component.

 Reiterating a previous request, any chance we could see bigger/better

 I don't want to get a white one if it is to i-Pod-y, but I'm afraid
 the black one may not fit in to well in the bedroom.

It's too bad this unit didn't make it into Wired Test, a mag kinda 
like Consumer Reports and sent to Wired readers today.  They gave the 
Roku Soundbridge the 'editors' pick' over the SB2, mainly on looks as 
far as  I can tell...  :-(


I think the SB3 looks great.

SB3 looks great. Congratulations!

Now, please commission Fred Bould to design nice powered speakers to go with the main unit.
This is going to look great as a standalone small-factor stereo system.

Also, could you considerfitting the Tripath TA 2024 chip inside?
The same as in the T-Amp:

Wow, SlimDevices came a long way since SliMP3
I am glad I bet my money on your products. Now, there is a new reason to spend more :)

Cheers,

Well, you learn something new every day - I always thought JPEGs were
strictly RGB. We'll see if makes sense to change them. I'm pretty sure
all the print designers would still go for the TIFFs.
