 "FANTASTIC product!" 2009-08-28
By Christian (Santa Barbara, CA)
I can't say enought great things about this baby!

The sound is fantastic.

The price is very very good for what you get.

The system works like a charm.



Details:

I bought a Logitech Squeezebox Boom and it was nice but not great. Sounded like a (decent) boom box... hence the name I guess!

I already have a great sounding Klisph iFi system for my computer and adding just this receiver (w/o paying big bucks for a remote)

worked like a charm (as someone else posted).



My setup:

Good computer speakers/amplifier (Klisph iFi)

squeezecenter software running on a linux box

squeezebox receiver (this product)

ipod touch (used, just over a [...] bucks) running "ipeng" software gives you an even better user interface than the squeezebox duet.

I also control my receiver through the squeezecenter's web interface on my computer.



Warning:

If you have a linux system and you know the basics of home networking (what is an ip address, a gateway address, a netmask your primary DNS address etc)

than it's pretty easy to setup (the instructions are ok and there is an associated discussion forum where you can as for help if needed).

Note that a friend with a linux laptop can come and help you set it up. It's only a one time deal to setup the box. After that you don't need

linux to run it.



If you are windows only user and don't know any linux user, then if you're very technically inclined you could install perl (activestate)

on your machine and setup the software. But it seems like it would be a pain in the butt to setup that way. You may just have to pay the

premium of getting the squeezebox duet (OR borrowing the remote from a friend who has one!).



I found the instructions and links to the software to setup this box at:

Good luck and enjoy a fantastic product!

Fantastic product with a lot of flexibility. Easy hook up and operation along with the remote control.

Absolutelly wonderful. Can listen to MP3's, internet radio, satellite radio and local as well as international radio stations. Will never go back to regular radio systems.

It is not 100% because the software that runs on the server is still under development and have a couple of rough edges. Nothing major.



Also, one can setup the receiver without the remote control. My remote control is my wireless laptop. Works beautifully.

I didn't purchase this from Amazon, although it is the lowest price around, instead i was able to purchase mine from Circuit City at an insane price due to liquidation.



At first installation was tricky, but i mostly blame this on a bogged down 9 year PC I was using. My laptop had crashed a week prior to purchasing the Duet. i figured I would at least get a "taste" of the Duet's features while i waited for my laptop's recovery disks to arrive.



With squeezecenter(program needed to stream throuhout house) installed on my PC i was able to get internet radio and Rhaposody to steam. But i was having problems streaming my Itunes library. At the end of the day i really blame this on my old bogged down PC.



Into the picture comes my newly formatted laptop. I installed the squeezecenter on there. At first I was still having the streaming problem with Itunes. I was able to find the FULL manual on the slimdevices(Logitech) website. After reading through it a quick change in my settings and resestting my Duet painlessly solved my problem. Within seconds i was streaming my 3,000+ itunes music.



My only real gripe with the Duet was it not including the FULL manual, but instead a Quick Setup Guide. I now enjoy listening to music more than ever and plan on converting all my music to FLAC and eventually purchasing a DAC to really get the most out of this unique system. But don't get me wrong the squeezebox sounds pretty good as it stands right now
