Squeeze Box Love'n'hate

I tellya, had I known this thing would be such a pain in the backside.....but yet I love it....when it works!!! Perhaps it's because I'm a MAC guy and my computers just work. This 'interactivity' with the SQ3 goes beyond my extent of how much I want to be involved with digital. I'm also a vinyl guy and I have no trouble with the interactiveness of playing records....in fact I savour it!

So what is it with the SQ3? Well sometimes it's busy 'buffering' when I want to listen to music. Other times it just shuts itself off. And then there's the times when it won't shut off.....unless you unplug it. And at times it loses it's network......whatever, it's just plain frustrating!!!!

Anyone else have this experience?

I agree with Cytocycle. If you are Mac person and/or want Mac like simplicity in sound streaming device, then Sonos is a good solution.

It is so simple. I had the Sonos connected to my network and playing music in about 5 minutes.

For those that want better sound, you can still add a DAC for ~$1000 which will compete well with the Transporter.

The SQ3, Sonos, and Transporter are all nice, but the Sonos is sooo simple. It even looks like a Mac and it's interface is similar to an IPOD.
