Logitech Squeezebox Duet Reviewed by CNET

We had reported that the Squeezebox Duet was finally available for sale and we have been looking around for a hands on review. Well C|Net labs played with a Duet for a while and they came away with exactly the feeling we thought they would: It rocks. Slim Devices has constantly produced top notch music streamers and we had no doubt that they would hit a home run with the Duet. The review over at C|Net is very detailed and very thorough. They come away with the conclusion that while the Duet is very similar to the Sonos the fact that it costs so much less and basically has the same functionality it comes out ahead. We are working on getting a review unit in the office so we can compare it with the Sonos that we tested out as well as see how much of a leap this is from the old Squeezebox we have here. We'll let you know if we end up getting our hands on one of these.

Does the Duet require your PC to be turned-on to play music stored on a Network Attached Storage device?

The Duet will require you to have some sort of other device running. It relies on their software called, Slimserver. This is written in perl so it can run on just about any device you have. People have it working on a ton of embedded devices and NAS boxes. We currently run it on our FreeNAS device. www.freenas.org

Let me know if you would like any other info.
