Need Advice On A Network Music Player
Nightfall, as I noted earlier, I think that some of the networking issues with squeezebox that existed a few years ago (which I also encountered) have been cleaned up since Logitech acquired Slim Devices. You shouldn't use your past experience as ... 
Need Advice On A Network Music Player
Nightfall My Marantz replacement unit now works (there was a button on the remote for digital out). It doesn't have the problems playing high Rez files that the original unit had. I am going to live with it for a few more weeks and then perhaps re...

Need Advice On A Network Music Player
Additional thoughts about the sbt and the Marantz. I've been spending quite a bit of time with both of them (in different systems in my house). The sbt is really a hard to be value. I use it as a transport into my aforementioned PS Audio DAC. The...

Need Advice On A Network Music Player
I own the SBT and the Marantz NA 7004. The SBT is a great value at $300. I use it with a PS Audio Digital Link 3 Dac. I use an Ethernet connection so it had no network recognition issues. The Marantz sounds a lot better playing high Rez files but ... 
Logitech Squeezebox sound compared to CD Player
I own both the Denon universal player that you own and the SBT.The Denon is better and of course you cannot play sacd or DVD-a on the SBT. The SBT is still a great value but it does sound just slightly veiled when used with the same Dac that I use...

Memory Players
I'm with Phaelon. I am still hassling with my rep for my Marantz NA 7004 which is a very buggy media player. I also own a Squeezebox Touch, which for $300 represents a heck of a value and is a lot more reliable than the aforementioned Marantz, but... 
Uverse quality questions
I switched to uverse from com cast to try to save money. The Internet part is terrible and their customer service is the worst that I haver ever had to deal with. The picture is an improvement over Comcast and the DVR is less buggy than Comcast. I...

I have two 5.1 systems in my house. My living room system has all speakers (except the sub) from the same company (Silverline Audio). My basement system was cobbled together from various speakers I had accumulated. The mains are old Paradigm tower... 
Decent budget Blu-Ray
I spent $250 for my first Blu Ray 9Panasonic) last year and the Sony that I just spent $95 for is at least as good. The machine is plug and play. Who needs customer service? At this price point, who cares about customer service? If it dies after a...
