Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you are a person who is interested in high-fidelity sound reproduction, this device is NOT for you.
I was hoping it had some of the qualities of the "Squeezebox" or at least something close, I was wrong.
From what I can find on the internet this device uses the "SBC codec for Bluetooth Audio" to transmit audio from the computer to your stereo receiver. SBC is an audio coding system specially designed for Bluetooth audio at medium bit rates, and having a low computational complexity. Judging from the quality of sound, my guess is that the bitrate is approximately 128Kbps.....a far cry from my original music files that are encoded with Apples lossless at a bitrate of about 1000kbps. Don't get me wrong...this device was very hard for me to return. It was a breeze to setup and worked perfectly with my iTunes (after a firmware/software upgrade to Pre-release 3, StreamPoint v1.1.0). The remote is wonderful...east to navigate and good battery life...but has a very short range (less than 40 feet in my house). So, in summary.
The Good:
Easy to setup
Easy to use
Good battery life
The Bad:
Sound quality
Wireless range
So, if you normally listen to music encoded at 128kbs and don't have a long distance requirements for the remote...this device is for you. However, if you like high-fidelity music (or close to it) and you need a remote that will transmit over long distances...pass this one by.
Rumor has it that Logitech will merge the sqeezebox with the DJ Music system remote in the next generation of the Squeezebox...we can only hope.
