Logitech has stirred up quite an excitement in the home entertainment market ....... and sound music streaming music systems include the uber-cool Logitech Squeezebox and Logitech DJ Wireless. Logitech Wireless DJ streams PC music to the stereo and control the computer's playlists from anywhere in the house, thanks to a large clear LCD screen and an intuitive scroll-wheel interface at a retail price of Rs.15,995. Logitech's Squeezebox is more desirable with an easy-to-use player that transmits music from the PC to the stereo through Wi-Fi or cables with superior-quality sound priced at Rs.19,995. ![]() |

Kamalji, Hard Disk Playout of Music is gaining ground, not only as a convenience, but also with Good Sound Quality. However, the Squeezebox is a convenience, consumer product.... a Cool Product, if you may. Logitech's US $ 2000 Music server has received rave reviews, and is clearly an audiophile product. Ofcourse a HUGE amount of the Audiophile sound is contibuted by the DAC at the listning end, so if someone already has a Zillion $ DAC, then you are half way there to Nirvana anyway ![]() The Squeezebox will probably match the sound quality of a generic DVD player, or a low end Audio Only CD player. ( I wonder if such products exist anymore ![]() |

Ampnut, If the DAC is all important, then are the high-end CD players using the same DACs as are used in the hi-end pro soundcards? I hope that FM is not used for the wireless transmission. It will damage quality a lot. |

This reminds me of the Pinnacle SoundBridge that went on sale last year. ( ![]() No doubt the Logitech may have better electronics but at more than twice the price of the SoundBridge it is disappointing to see no hard drive or other bells & whistles. I'm not sure I'd want to switch on the PC in my bedroom every time I want to listen to music in the drawing room. If only the Cambridge Audio 640H Music Server didn't cost so darn much... |

I think it'll use wifi and transmit the music as data files. The decoding will be done by the squeezebox. Isn't FM quality inferior to CD? |

Hope you're right Zhops. ![]() ![]() Ampnut, I will have to do R&D. I am out of touch with the technology developments. BTW, I visited the car dealership and came across car stereos that have a USB input. Just plug in a pendrive and you can listen to your favourite songs. I really hope this takes off. Rather than using a bulky computer, why not just plug in a pen-drive into our home stereos? |

That would be nice, would'nt it? With pendrives being so cheap,Amp Mfrs would be doing customers a nice favour if a USB 2.0 could be featured on the front panel. Any thoughts on how this could be retrofitted on existing amps Do scratch your head. |

You would need a decoder, and a DAC. Hmmm, thats exactly what a squeezebox is ![]() ![]() |

well, this is the 1st time that I heard the Squeezebox @ the Rocky Mtn Audio Fest over the past 3 days. SEVERAL & I mean SEVERAL rooms had the Squeezebox as their choice of music sever. Many/most of them were stock form & the sound from it was absolutely fantastic rivalling any CD player in the $2000-3000 range. In all the systems I heard the Squeezebox, it gave up nothing in the sound to a conventional CDP. However, today in the ModWright-Art Audio room where Dan Wright himself was there at the time I visited, was a modified the Squeezebox to have a tube rectifier & a tube output stage. SO, you could see 3 tubes sticking out from the top of the box. The music was playing thru his electronics - a 2-chassis line-stage that sells for $9000 & the power amp was an Art Audio/K & K Audio Vivo based on WE 300B tubes that sells for $13000. The sound was simply fantastic. I spent maybe 30 minutes in that room with half the time listening to the Squeezebox & the other half to his Redpoint Audio TT. in no way were the sonics compromised. (my VERY, VERY, VERY lengthy reports along w/ pix to be posted when I get back home ). |

Interesting, but I remain skeptical for the Absolute level of audiophile sound quality from a STOCK Squeezebox. I ofcourse presume that the Squeezeboxes were feeding Zillion $ DACs... ![]()
That would be VERY, nice. Looking forward to yr post. ![]() |
