Squeezebox Vs Duet

Why would you have to look at Squeezebox's screen to
use the remote?

Because the SB3's remote is only buttons, unlike the Duet's remote, which has a
screen.

SB3 - screen on player, no screen on remote
Duet - no screen on player, screen on remote

Think Tvad referred to the sb3 in his reference to the screen not the duet.

Thanks for the info. Feel sure the itouch would be an upgrade even from the duet remote. It looks to be very versatile a has tremendous functionality. If I were planning to use the functions it would be a no brainer. At this time I do not intend to use it that way but will continue reading about it and considering how it might be of use. You have succedded in getting me curious.

Given the $399 price of a Duet (and less if purchased used), versus the
~$200-$250 (used) cost of an SB3, the Duet seems like a no-brainer, IMO.

Unless you can find a SB3/Boulder modded ELPAC power supply package for
around $300. The power supply is supposed to make a substantial
improvement, especially regarding the digital output of the player.

Sorry, I thought Tvad was referring to the Duet remote with the SB3.

Once again, IMO, the digital output of a stock Duet sounds better than a stock SB3.

Also, IMO, the Bolder digital mods are a joke.

If you want a linear PSU, here's the real deal:

If you want to upgrade digital outputs on a SB3 or Duet, contact Pat at:

Is there a specific PS model number at Acopian one should search for?

Are you saying the Bolder Elpac power supply mods are a joke, or the Bolder Squeezebox digital mods are a joke? Would you be more specific about why you have this opinion?

Thanks.
