Ok - you've
I think the beauty of these devices is choice, myself: you can use the
IR remote, or a Controller, or an SB Touch, or an iPod Touch with one of
the 3rd party remotes, or a web interface. You can install to a NAS if
you want. Or you can choose to use mysqueezebox.com and leave your
computer off.

Yeah I totally disagree with that statement! - Whilst the V-DAC is for
sure a good DAC, using the USB port of any computer is NOT going to give
the absolute best possible quality. Using wireless or ethernet to
interconnect computer with "DAC" is preferable - no noise/ground loops!

Thanks for all the posts it has really given me something to think
about. There is no doubt that the Squeeze box is a fantastic product and
I can see its appeal. I dont think it is going to be easy to get the

Sorry if I was unclear - you're describing the Rocketfish solution or
something like it - no cables, wireless, not FM, etc. This is not an

software is slow and awkwardish to use direct from a PC unlike
Albumplayer. As one of the forum members said it was designed to be used

FYI - the receivers are "supposed" to be available for sale outside of
the Duet package, but currently they cannot be found at any US retailers

I am almost buying the SB but I do love albumplayer though, I have tried

Any device which takes the audio from a Windows application which is

altered it (e.g. usually upsampling to 48kHz from 44.1kHz) compared to
the file on the disk.
SqueezeBox server (SBS) takes the bits from the disk and does
Sounds like you are looking for something more along the lines of the
Rocketfish wireless audio products - they accept an audio input and
broadcast it wirelessly to a receiver; options include a receiver that
will provide audio outputs to connect to an existing sound system or
wireless speakers.
I now the dacmagic and others have a usb and optical input and if the PC

Is there any other product that would be more suitable ?

another type of user.

what i really need is a 'long wireless cable from my audio out' thats

Any box like a Squeezebox will need some sort of software to drive it,
I'd imagine. It sounds like all you want is a wire-free way of taking
an audio output from your laptop into your hi-fi, so maybe something
