Wireless Music Bridge, Soundbridge, etc.


I know there's some threads on this, but I'm considering a wireless DAC interface between my PC and Pre-amp. Been reading some horror stories about Linksys Music Bridge as well as the Roku and even Logitech Squeeze Box. Some people like them others say "no way". Difficult to get working, clips, quits, sounds bad.....

Logitech also has the Transporter but don't think I'm ready for a $2000 gamble.

Just trying to use a better audio out from my PC, possibly better external soundcard and get rid of some cables. Any reasonable recommendations?

Jim, I think we've conversed on this subject before. The only real trick to setting up the MusicBridge is to use a hardwire connection (Ethernet cable) when you do the intial setup. After that it's pretty much a doddle.

I never get any dropouts from mine, but my MB is only about 25 ft. away from my router. If you do experience consistent dropouts, you could always run an Ethernet cable to it and be done with it.

Before jumping into one of the (much) more expensive solutions, give the MB a try. You're only risking $80. Just buy it from a place with a reasonable return policy. Buy.com has them in stock with free shipping:
