Is the Squeezebox Touch complicated?

Re upgrading from a SB3 to Touch, I did just that, and was surprised at the improvement, even with S/PDIF feeding an outboard DAC. Much improved overall tone and "musicality" across the spectrum (?? less jitter). IMHO, well worth it! Plus, with the free EDO app add-on, you can stream up to 24/192 FLAC.

thanks folks, sounds like it might be worthwhile to switch eventually. I actually have been wondering if a new one is coming out, as their website says they are out of stock. Amazon etc. is carrying them at a lower price. Perhaps a new version with 24/192 ?

They are due for a new model I would say but do not know of anything specific.

Many longtime SB users (myself included) are fearful that Logitech is about to "pull the plug" on the SB product line, and focus on higher volume mainstream consumer electronic/computer products. If so, that would really be a shame. I suggest getting a Touch while you still can, especially if discounted. Even if Logitech throws in the towel, the open-source design of Squeezebox Server, and large community of end-users, will ensure the platform remains functional for quite some time.

I have had similar concerns about SB. Can't be a very profitable line of products. I hope not. We'll see. I have not seen many software updates of late.
