Squeezebox Duet for $169 - DEAL ALERT
« on: 19 Mar 2011, 01:07 pm »
Amazon is selling the Duet BNIB for an awesome price. I know all of u r thinking, why get it over the overhyped (IMO) TOUCH. I have all 3 - SB3/DUET and TOUCH and prefer this for its form factor, inconspicuousness,  and ease of use! I use outboard DACs anyway... all I need is a digital stream and with an aftermarket PS - the DUET does it well!

Here's the Linky: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Squeezebox-Wi-Fi-Internet-Radio/dp/B0013IWYHU/ref=br_lf_m_1000667221_1_1_ttl?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=electronics&pf_rd_p=1291495882&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_i=1000667221&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1RAGG4Q31Z621GNX3FBT

Thanks!  I already have a Duet.  But I just ordered the Squeezebox Boom from Amazon.  It also is $170 and has a $35 mail-in rebate if ordering from Amazon today.

Thanks for the 'heads-up', been trying to acquire just another receiver for the bedroom system, at this price it's like the handheld is for free.

Nope - I just dl the coupon for rebate, it's for 3 different items, but the Duet isn't one of them.

It should be, but as with anything, there may be a glitch. How are you with diagnosing wifi issues?

Quickstart guide here, if no glitches, this is all you need to do to get up and running;

If I was able to set up the original SB via wifi you should have no problem.  :lol:  I do prefer the performance with the new Cat5e cable I recently installed.  Fewer dropout and reconnect issues.  I can't comment on the sound since I had the SB out of my system for quite a while and made a lot of changes. I do think the wired installation works smoother and connects and changes stations faster. I am using it for internet radio only.

It is pretty straightforward.
You do need a wifi connection or a hardwired one.
If you run into any issues, call tech support. They are very helpful, at least were back when I called them 2 years ago.
The remote is versatile and will control any of their devices. You can also sync different unit to play the same songs.
If u r tech savy, you can use your ipad or iphone with an app to control the units instead of the remotes.
You can see I am a huge fan.
That boom is an incredible deal. For $135 its a steal. I bought it for $199.00 only 5 months ago from Amazon.

I can't believe I bought one. What an impulse buy? I saved about $130, I think. I saw that it did flac and then hit the buy button. I hope for the best with this purchase.

I can't find the boom for that price. Do you have a link?

Yes, bummer. Looks like the deal is finished.  I just found out my friend's older model SB failed.  I wanted to send him some good news. If someone finds a hot deal on SBs again I hope they will post it here.
