News & Reviews For squeezebox 3
2006-04-21
PCWorld.ca did a roundup of network music players and picked Squeezebox as their favorite:
The Squeezebox is our top pick. The elegant device uses 802.11g Wi-Fi (the SoundBridge uses 802.11b), and is the only one of the three to support WPA encryption, the more-secure successor to the WEP encryption in the other products. An alarm clock and a headphone jack make the Squeezebox a fine bedside companion.

Clint DeBoer, editor-and-chief of Audioholics.com and president of the Home Theater Alliance, reviewed Squeezebox for Audioholics.com and awarded it 5 out of 5!
Slim Devices has taken a great thing and made it even... well, greater. This is one box that should have a prominent place in anyone's home theater. I am enamored by its upgraded body work and the consistent attention to firmware updates and software upgrades cannot go unnoticed. Slim Devices is a company that is paying attention to its user base and it shows. [...] Go get yourself a Squeezebox.

Vince Veneziani reviewed Squeezebox for DesignTechnica and awarded it a 9 out of 10 and an Editor's Choice award!
Slim Devices' latest version of the Squeezebox is a hit. Great features, open-source software, wireless compatibility, and a remote make it worth your time and money. [...] Do yourself a favor: if you've been using your computer to listen to music for the past year, get out of that habit and get into Squeezebox.

Not only am I buying the review sample, I might get another to use in the bedroom. (One server can handle multiple SBs.) Love that remote control. Daddy's got a Squeezebox, Momma's not gonna get any sleep tonight!

What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision reviewed Squeezebox in the April issue and gave it 5 stars out of 5.
The Squeezebox 3 uses a 24-bit Burr-Brown DAC, and it shows. Through a Denon micro, songs sound good, but channel it through a £1000 amp/speaker combo and you light the blue touch-paper: Johnny Cash's voice on Hurt is heart-rending; the AmZlie OST teleports you to the cobbled streets of Montmartre; while Leftfield's Space Shanty makes you hop around the room like it's 1995 all over again.

Good Gear Guide reviewed Squeezebox and gave it 5 stars!
This is the best media streamer on the market at the moment and a pleasurable merge of form and function. ... Of the many products that make their way through our test centre, very few have supreme design and also work beautifully. It seems that many companies value one or the other but it is rare to find a seamless combination of form and function. The Squeezebox from SlimDevices is such a device - it looks sexy and performs impeccably. ... If you are looking for a way to play your music in a room other than the one your PC is in, this is the device for you.

David Pogue has written a comprehensive review of the new Squeezebox for The New York Times.
Over all, you have to love this sweet, satisfying machine. Its creators have sweated so many details, you want to hand them a towel. Now that CD players, tape decks and turntables are rapidly disappearing, the Squeezebox brings us one step closer to the era of the stereo-free stereo.

In the end, we enthusiastically recommend the Squeezebox to anyone looking to access their digital music collection without being tied to the music server. The convenience and accessibility afforded by storing CD's digitally cannot be ignored and the latest product from Slim Devices is the ideal solution for networking those files throughout the house. Armed with 802.11g support, a gorgeous VFD display, solid software and a reasonable price (starting at $249), you would be hard-pressed to find a better digital audio player.
