• This is just great! I've had the Duet for a few months now and it has completely transformed the way I access and listen to my music collection (over 9000 tracks) from the PC. It's also stored on MP3Tunes.com for streaming to the Duet when the PC is switched off. Sound quality from the Duet receiver (using the optical connector in my case) is outstanding, well balanced and not bass-heavy. The firmware update to allow the Duet controller to play through the integrated headphone jack (thus allowing true "around-the-house" portability) still hasn't been released. I was thinking of buying another Duet receiver for use elsewhere in the house, but hooking up the associated hi-fi and speakers seems a drag, especially outside, The Boom will be the perfect solution, but only on the basis that it can be made to behave like a Duet receiver, meaning that I can both access it and control it from the Duet controller. If it can, then this is the ultimate wi-fi music and internet radio player, and is sure to remain so for some considerable time. I just hope that the speakers make the best use of the superb electronics housed inside the case. I can't praise Slimdevices (or Logitech) enough for the Duet and its controlling software (SqueezeCentre and Squeezenetwork, both under constant revision and improvement). Will the Boom turn out to be a Pop? I doubt it, but we'll see. I'm definitely ordering one just as soon as it's available! In reply to: "Logitech Squeezebox Boom: The ultimate Wi-Fi radio?"
