 Fabulous - once you've set it up properly October 28, 2008

What a triumph of design and function this product is. I'm just blown away by it. I'm no audiophile, but the sound quality is excellent through my mid-range system. It's intuitive and easy to use (even my wife can use it) and such a cool gadget. Having said that, it takes a long time to set up properly. You need patience, technical savvy and good computer skills to get it working flawlessly. There are a myriad of options to configure too, if you want. There are also many add-ons that can be downloaded (my favourite is Alien BBC for radio streaming) to extend the capabilities even further. As with most Logitech devices, the aesthetics of the unit are very pleasing, albeit stolen from the iPod to some degree (although this makes it all the more familiar and easy to use). The automatic software updates keep the unit up to date with fixes and new features. Occasionally, I have a connection problem but generally nothing stopping and re-starting the server doesn't fix. I just love this piece of kit and can't wait to show it to people. I love being able to sit outside in the summer and control all my music remotely. Again, the only downside is the technical knowledge needed to set it up. I didn't find it that straightforward and I'm an IT professional with a degree in electronics.
Rediscover your music collection October 21, 2008

I would describe myself as computer literate but by no means a networking expert. Nevertheless I quickly had this up and running from my pc in no time. It took a little longer to get my NAS to stream to it without pc being on but even that was trivial and simply required some time set aside. My router is an old 'b' speed linksys and it works flawlessly. br / br /Now I can search my music library and rediscover those albums I forgot about so easily. The cd's have gone in the loft (well, the ones that have been ripped to FLAC thus far have....) clearing up loads of space. br / br /All in all an amazing piece of kit, and if you have a large enough music collection to justify it you wont regret this purchase at all.
Very Impressed, highly recommended September 7, 2008

Don't be put off with it's Logitech branding, it's nothing like their other products. I am very impressed with the audio quality, the remote is very cool. In fact, the whole product is very sleek. The audio quality is excellent. I stream FLAC off my Linux server with no problems. br / br /Couple of points: br / br /1. My wireless goes through two doors, although on the same floor, and I occasionally get glitches. The remote (which has it's own in built wireless and runs Linux itself) has occasionally dropped connection to the receiver. I think the wireless range is related to keeping power consumption low and I can see people having issues if the wireless goes across a couple of floors or walls. Just keep this in mind. br / br /2. The Linux software installation for non RPM based distributions (ie.. from Perl source) was quite difficult to install and I wouldn't recommend for a newbie. The latest version of slimserver (7.1) was much easier. If you don't use RPM then I suggest looking into what is involved before buying one. br / br /Overall this is an excellent product, and If you have a windows box as a server, should be a doddle to install. I was so impressed that I've started to move away from my Vinyl. br / br /
