I hate CD players. They're bulky and they typically play only 1-5 discs at a time - unless you get a CD changer and that's like getting the family pack at Krystal - it isn't about quality. We're no strangers to Slim Devices Digital Network Music Players. In fact, we've reviewed both the second and third iterations of the Squeezebox Digital Music Players. This product is more than I would have expected - or even hoped for - a completely tricked-out Squeezebox with dual displays, upgraded DAC, and enough functionality to serve as the true powerhouse in any "analogue-is-my-friend" system. But can this new "Cadillac" model really replace your CD player?

ProsCons
  • Well-designed chassis that blends well with esoteric high end gear
  • Cool "force-feedback" TransNav control knob
  • Excellent 802.11g wireless range
  • Digital coax and optical S/PDIF inputs/outputs
  • Wireless bridge option
  • Rhapsody Music Service Support
  • SqueezeNetwork allows use without PC
  • Almost universally compatible with most operating systems
  • Expensive for casual consumers (who alternatively can get a Squeezebox)
  • No direct "digital" input control on remote
