I've got a couple of Soundbridge units and am increasingly happy with every software release (btw, update notifications and downloads are performed right from the unit). Earlier problems that I encountered like constant re-buffering and inability to find my libraries have been all but eliminated with the latest release. There are a couple of enhancements that still need to be developed (fast-forward and reverse, improved scroll and search capabilities, ability to play the same selection simultaneously on both units for a "whole house" effect) but overall it's fun to use, and with 1400 or so CDs loaded up it facilitates listening to stuff that I might have otherwise passed over when visually glomming through the jewel cases. Soundwise, I run one from my 990 in 7ch stereo and one from a 1050 in 2ch stereo mode (most of the time) - both are conncected through digital coax and sound just fine for everday listening - still, they are more of a convenience factor than an audiophile consideration. I am running both wirelessly - one caution, if you are considering wireless check their website (
www.rokulabs.com) for a recommended list of wireless routers, it really does make a difference.
