Quote from: mvalera on 5 Dec 2007, 01:01 amThe Jive Target Hardware Platform works with any of our products. It controls SlimServer not the hardware directly.We don't comment on future/unannounced hardware, but a SB4 sounds like you all think there is a SB3 replacement on the roadmap. There is not.To beat this dead... the SB3 will continue unchanged for the foreseeable future. There is no planned replacement for it.Cheers,MikeMichael ValeraOnline Communities ManagerLogitech Streaming Media Systemsslimdevices.comThanks for the honest answer Michael http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=49296.0I guess if it's not a REPLACEMENT you're technically correct - but to say there's no SB4 now seems to be a bit disingenuous unless you see this as a parallel product path.Bryan

The Duet is NOT a SB4. It is NOT a next generation Squeezebox. The Squeezebox Receiver is basically internally identical to the SB3 without a display.

The Squeezebox Receiver is basically internally identical to the SB3 without a display.They're not even similar internally. They don't use the same DAC and they have completely different output stages.
Digitally they are functionally identical.

Does that make things more clear for you?

If you tell someone that two products are internally identical, then they would naturally expect them to sound the same. Put the same electronics in a different box, paint the antenna pink, put whiskers on it, and nobody will expect much, if any, sonic difference. Change the power supply, the DAC, and the output stage and they will sound different. Saying they're functionally identical is like saying two different pairs of speaker are functionally identical when they're made with different crossovers, cabinets and drivers.QuoteDoes that make things more clear for you?Perfectly.
