I can't say enought great things about this baby!
The sound is fantastic.
The price is very very good for what you get.
The system works like a charm.
Details:
I bought a Logitech Squeezebox Boom and it was nice but not great. Sounded like a (decent) boom box... hence the name I guess!
I already have a great sounding Klisph iFi system for my computer and adding just this receiver (w/o paying big bucks for a remote)
worked like a charm (as someone else posted).
My setup:
Good computer speakers/amplifier (Klisph iFi)
squeezecenter software running on a linux box
squeezebox receiver (this product)
ipod touch (used, just over a [...] bucks) running "ipeng" software gives you an even better user interface than the squeezebox duet.
I also control my receiver through the squeezecenter's web interface on my computer.
Warning:
If you have a linux system and you know the basics of home networking (what is an ip address, a gateway address, a netmask your primary DNS address etc)
than it's pretty easy to setup (the instructions are ok and there is an associated discussion forum where you can as for help if needed).
Note that a friend with a linux laptop can come and help you set it up. It's only a one time deal to setup the box. After that you don't need
linux to run it.
If you are windows only user and don't know any linux user, then if you're very technically inclined you could install perl (activestate)
on your machine and setup the software. But it seems like it would be a pain in the butt to setup that way. You may just have to pay the
premium of getting the squeezebox duet (OR borrowing the remote from a friend who has one!).
I found the instructions and links to the software to setup this box at:

Good luck and enjoy a fantastic product!
