If you are only using it as a digital transport then it might not be a huge step forward sound wise, but then neither would a megabucks Lumin, Linn etc - it’s only 0’s and 1’s after all.Is it an improvement over the SBT?
Hilarious isn’t it! That’s why building your own is so satisfying.But it says "audio" in the name...
It was a travesty that Logitech abandoned it but great that one of its engineers continues to support and progress the LMS software. It’s a work of genius.If you are only using it as a digital transport then it might not be a huge step forward sound wise, but then neither would a megabucks Lumin, Linn etc - it’s only 0’s and 1’s after all.
But as an all in one it’s a lot better (and I have owned something like 20 Squeezebox products down the years). Throw in the internal hard drive storage and brilliant app and it’s one of the best conceived and high value products I have used in 25+ years of dicking around with hi-fi.
Where does this Audiofools term come from? What gives anyone the right to judge what someone chooses to spend their own money on??? It might not be what ‘you’ would buy but then something you like might not suit ‘them’, the whole thing winds me up!

Having compared them it doesn’t sound better.Yes I think the auralic mini sounds better that SQ box plus it’s hassle free with no computer building/messing required unlike some of the more diy options. Control app is excellent too, easily in par with LMS.
I disagree but your entitled to your own opinion. I’ve personally owned a auralic mini, Aries Femto & currently aries G1. I’ve also owned several squeezeboxes including the touch. The minis performance jumps when you add a linear power supply.Having compared them it doesn’t sound better.

Your subjective perceptions are noted. Would you have any objective data?
How would you measure an increased height,width and depth of soundstage ?
Auralic Mini every time

I’m even less convinced now you’ve mentioned a linear power supply.I disagree but your entitled to your own opinion. I’ve personally owned a auralic mini, Aries Femto & currently aries G1.
