Squeezbox 2 or 3?


Does anyone know the differences between these? How do they compare to an Airport Express/AirTunes setup? I'd be going digital into my Arcam AVR300 DACs.

Thanks for any input.

The SB2 is electronically and functionally identical to the SB3. The big difference is that the SB3 has an internal WiFi antenna. The SB2 has more room inside for future mods.

I would suggest that you download the SB software and play around with it before buying. Or you can just buy one and take advantage of the 30 day return policy if you don't like it. The SB software is a lot different than Itunes and most people seam to prefer Itunes.

I have a Bolder Cable modded SB2 with the deluxe power supply. I could not be happier.

Good Luck,
The mods made a huge difference. I have the full analog and digital mods plus I had Sonocap Platinum and Gen2 caps added. I have it hooked up to an Anthem AVM30 with both digital and analog. The digital output is pretty good into the AVM30, but the analog output is the better of the two. It's so good that I sold my reference tube SACD player.
