Squeezebox 4? What? I have a number of Squeezeboxen, but what is Squeezebox 4Still waiting on a Squeezebox 4 with my squeezebox.com bit perfect integration for all major music services.
Yes, it is. The Eversolo looks cool (VU meters and all that) but it may lack some room for maneuver on what is essentially a vertical format as some reviewers have pointed out (correct me if I'm wrong). Android apps rely on verticality. Some reviewers have mentioned "screen casting" to your phone (or tablet?). I'd like some comment on "hands on" practical use of both devices (FiiO and Eversolo). The R7 would benefit from "screen casting" to your phone or tablet.While nice, that's a lot more shelf space and definitely not a 'desktop' item like this one. And... isn't that basically a sideways mobile phone display

Sorry, that was satire. It was the product Logitech should have released 10 years ago and owned the space. Heck, they could release it now and still own the space in a year. I want a simple streamer, with a simple display for song/artist or album cover (maybe space for some digital vu meters), bit perfect digital output for all major music services and a remote. Then sell integrated iOS/Android/MAC/PC Apps for those that want them.The technology was there 10 years ago for $300.Squeezebox 4? What? I have a number of Squeezeboxen, but what is Squeezebox 4

The last time I bought a Fiio player (the X5 III) I hated it so much that I ended up selling it. The sound quality was fine, but the software ergonomics were a mess and it was not reliable. This was 5 years ago, so I would assume they are much better now. Even so, I'm not going to be the guinea pig to plop down $500 when my Sony (with the 89db sinad) is rocking along perfectly.Purchase one and drop ship it to Amir?

?A remote and a SD slot and I'd be interested.
Really hard to see it in the picture but I should've read the specs more carefully, I guess?

You could do some homework - about your worry - and report back your findings (re: Whether the SD slot is functional).
I left speechless, this is near perfect even for today's standards. Of all products Logitech makes, decided to kill THAT?I will never understand. This was released 13 years ago...has any company matched, let alone surpassed this UI?
Right?I left speechless, this is near perfect even for today's standards. Of all products Logitech makes, decided to kill THAT?
Right?
I apologize for the threadjacking…but this really is the bar by which I measure streamers.
Because it's still competently designed device with shitload of features etc. Not many (or none) devices like this are available, so it brings the value to the market.How is that competent or recommended when the final headphone output is 30db+ worse than the DAC section?
