i untie Pendlebury from cnet.com and this is a review of the Logitech Squeezebox touch personally I've been looking for a digital music streamer for myself for a long time and though the sonar system is really good it's limited in its inability to play high resolution audio files and while it's been out for a while the Logitech Squeezebox touch is the first digital music streamer I've seen that ticks all the boxes for sound quality and is easy to use and fun the device itself consists of a 4.3 inch touchscreen and despite its plastic looking fascia it comes with a stable metal base the screen is quite small for use across the room where its touch ability becomes useless anyway but you can increase the size of the fonts for use with a remote control or just use it to display cover art but regardless I think the main control method will be either via a tablet or smartphone with apps available for both iOS and Android and you can also use PC and Macs as an older device the logitech lacks proper DLNA support but uses its own proprietary server which runs from a PC or Netgear nares as such the device has more appeal than geeks than the competitive Sonos device which just works but if you have a big library like me or exotic file types and like to tweak the look and feel of your device then the Squeezebox is for you making playlists is easy and its integration with Spotify in particular is superb even if you just use this device as an internet radio it works really well sound quality was surprising with excellent sound coming out of the onboard analog outputs but you can add an outboard digital processor or just connect a digital cable to your receiver while it's not perfect it can sometimes suffer from brain farts and lose its 802 11 G connection I think this is the best device of its type so far especially if you use an ethnic cable connection while it's more expensive than a Roku it's cheaper than most dedicated audio components and at 250 online it's highly recommended this has been type in debrief for cnet.com
