"Listen to the music you love in any room in your
home. Browse and play songs from your personal
collection, online music services, and Internet
radio. Enjoy crystal clear, CD-quality audio in your
home theater, the stereo in your bedroom, the mini
system in the kitchen — anywhere you have audio
gear."
That is the blurb on the all new Logitech
Squeezebox Duet launched at CES this January in Las
Vegas. This product takes the ever popular Squeezebox to the next level,
making it the first real competition for the
Sonos music system.
The great advantage it offers over the previous Squeezebox is that the remote has ALL the information on it's colour display, making it very easy to select songs or playlists etc. Make no mistake, the Squeezebox is now set to go mainstream!

Slim Devices Transporter
19/09/06 23:03 Filed in: Audio
Slim Devices' Transporter™
was designed to appeal to the most discerning
audiophiles and music lovers. It streams digital
music with sound quality that surpasses even the
most exotic compact disc players. At the heart
of Transporter is a "no compromise" attitude to
component selection and electronic design.
Feel Your Music—The new
TransNav™ controller uses dynamic tactile feedback to
provide fast access to any song even in the largest
music collection. The sleek, backlit, infrared remote
and dual fluorescent displays make it easy to use
from anywhere in the room.
Quality Connectors—Transporter's back panel features a complete set of professional-grade connectors, including both balanced and unbalanced signals for its analog and digital interfaces.
Astounding Analog—The AK4396 "Miracle DAC" was chosen for its high dynamic range and low distortion. Its low out-of-band noise allows for the use of low-order output filters with higher cutoffs, resulting in preservation of phase and reduced distortion in the audible band. This extraordinary accuracy at higher frequencies allows Transporter to resolve the exact staging of instruments and the finest details of any recording. In addition, Transporter's digital inputs allow its built-in DAC to be used with other sources.
Accurate Digital—Transporter's digital path is not only "bit perfect", but also extremely accurate in timing precision. Clock signals in Transporter are handled not as ones and zeroes, but as precision analog signals. Specialized crystal oscillators, careful clock management, and linear-regulated logic supplies ensure the lowest possible jitter throughout the system.
Clean Power—Transporter's DAC and output amplifiers are powered by Super Regulators, based on the legendary design by Walt Jung. These regulators offer lower output impedance, faster response, and better noise rejection than standard three-terminal regulators. The result is an incredibly natural sound, with a pitch-black background and a shocking level of detail.
Transporter is the network music player audiophiles have been waiting for.
The Slim Devices Transporter will be available in Australia sometime in October 2006.
