  1. i'm not utilizing my sound card, rather streaming to a Logitech Duet from router. From the Logitech receiver to a DacMagic. Using WinAmp, its also $20 for the full version (non crippled, fast rip times).

    using an external HD via USB port, no problems. second external HD is for backup of the 1st one. many ways to do this as you know..bummer about the olive.

  2. If you want to listen to music, why spend your money on a sub that you think is "not very musical"? Look around a bit more, wait until you have a bit more money, and buy a sub that you'll really like. It'll be cheaper in the medium to long run.

    BTW, Paradigm makes some really good subs. I've been using a PW-2100 for years and it's all I need in my system. It works well with a pair of JubScalas with big amps pushing them.

    this is good advice.

    another tact is to spend the $100 and listen to the sub, use it as a learning experience. you'll then have a frame of reference, you can assess the comments others make with this addidional experience, then down the road, sell it if you're so inclined.

  3. Has anyone compared Sons, or Squeezebox. Does the Squeezebox receive internet wirelessly, because if so that would be a winner over the Sonous player I believe they need to be pluged into the internet or have the bridge plugged in to a wireless router.

    I was going to go with a Sonos but know I am looking at the squeezebox.

    yes. receives either internet radio stations or the streaming of your ripped music wirelessly through your wifi router.

    works great for CD and internet. some hi rez files from HD tracks stop and buffer continuously. I believe that my 5 year old router is the culprit, it's a little long in the tooth..

    someone earlier said that playing their CD's sounded better or differrent. if you run CD's and streamed music from squeezebox through the same DAC they will be the same.

    i have the duet and it works with no problems.
