If you don't know what it is, it's basically a boombox that hooks into your wireless network, and you can use it to play audio from a bunch of different online radio stations, as well as stream all of the music you have on your home network. I'm thinking of picking one up myself, but was just wondering if any Giant Bombers had one and could sway me either for or against plunking down $300 for it.

Anyone have a Logitech Squeezebox?
I have one,got it for 200 bucks from a hobo on the street O__o(not joking)So i gave the dude 200 dollars and test the Squeezebox,its broke.
Srs,dont listen to hobos for a sec.
I was once car-jacked by a hobo.
$300 for a squeezebox sounds too costly to me. Does it have good audio DACs? Like a wolfson or burr-browns? Or is it all digital? What kind of electronics do you get for it? I mean shit, for < $300, you could get a nice NAD cd player or even a nice bluray/dvd/cd player from one of the top manufacturers (or an Oppo).

I don't remember them being made by Logitech though.
