Does The Squeezebox Touch Have a Worthy Successor?


.
Is there a new streaming device on the market that offers the performance and value of the Squeezebox?

From the N-30 product brochure:

"AirPlay-enabled App Support – Get access to the growing number of AirPlay-enabled
apps like Pandora® and iHeartRadio®"
Has anyone heard the Denon-DNP-720AE? It is a wifi enabled network music player with a digital output.
There are several promising things coming to replace the Squeezebox. Bluesound is similar to Sonos in function and comes from the same distributor as NAD and PSB. It's out, but has virtually no internet streaming services that are working. They say they will have them "soon".

VOCO (myvoco.com) has a product that looks similar in function to Squeezebox Touch. They claim it's available but don't answer the phone so who knows.

Olive One is another contender but there's little useful info at present.

Another huge difference between Sonos and Squeezebox is support. Logitech answers the phone in about 1/10 the time and they generally know what they are talking about. Sonos techs don't.
I just checked Amazon. Vendors who still have Squeezebox Touches are pricing them at $699. That should be an indicator of what a hole that product has left in the marketplace.
If things stay as they are now, I'll probably just wind up sending a Sonos to W4S and letting them do an upgrade on it. The only real advantage that the SBT has over the Sonos is the ability to do hi res files. Personally, I've found hi res downloads to be hit and miss at best; so I don't think I'll miss it much.
