What did you find the most interesting?
For me it was the little box that Skip Pack brought to the Dallas Audio Club room and hooked up to the system. The Squeezebox from Slim Devices was hard wired to his laptop, whose external hard drive held more than 100 CD's in lossless FLAC file format. We played it thorugh the Lite Audio DAC-60, and it sounded very good to me. This device certainly gets an A+ for convenence. I'm still undecided about whether it sounds as good as a CD in a good quality player because none of the CD's available in our room duplicated the CD's Skip had recorded on his external drive, so we couldn't do a direct comparison.
We both live in Houston, and sometime after the meet Skip and I plan to get together to do some CD player / Squeezebox comparisons. We'll post our finding on the ART digital forum. In the meantime, if somebody has done some A/B comparisons between a Squeezebox and a CD player please post your findings on the Digital forum. Picture of the Squeezebox sitting on my CD player here:
