Squeezebox Line Comes to an End


Just saw this at another forum. While the writing was on the wall, I'm still disappointed.

You've said it well, Mapman.

In the end, with all the continued speculation about Logitech's direction, my next iteration of a front end will be a Mac, USB out to my external DAC. I'm tired of guessing and stressing.

I feared this would happen when Sean got greedy and sold. A profound shame in the history of the evolution of digital home audio.
Vhiner, agreed.

Feckless, shortsighted morons.

They had an opportunity to energize a market. Instead, they abandoned it, probably because some bean counting MBA could not imagine the potential.

I was banned from their forums a few years back for essentially predicting such.
Haven't used it, but I prefer the philosophy behind the squeeze model in which I can integrate with my dac, amp, etc. the original sonos I don't think was able to, not sure about current models. Also, the squeeze line was all about audiophile quality, not sure the sonos really had as much focus on that.

My next move will be to computer integrated USB based. I also don't believe in all in one units.
