In Reply to: Then why would you think they would mention internet streaming....... posted by Cut-Throat on October 6, 2014 at 16:06:53:
The model right now is still buying a physical product, dumping it to digital file, - (and possessing those as another collection on an internal hard drive, or NAS drive/server).
As $50K music servers are only starting to be discovered to be inconvenient by the traditional/old school audiophile, folks like you and I are starting to see how ridiculous they are compared to the humble Squeezebox and it's myriad of wonderful swiss-army-knife features.
The Bryston, Mind, and Sonore were the first of these boxes to realize that there should be something in between the squeezebox and a $50K music server. They are working it all out.
The Sonore people are taking the position of more purity, and they're philosophy is to eschew Internet Radio (and I mean IR and Internet Apps) as it is low quality.
From my perspective, - I don't think that it really belongs in my high end rig and I agree. However, - I enjoy it so much, and it would be super convenient to use a comparative illustration to friends: and also for those friends who don't care bugger-all about high=end gear and want me to go out on the Internets and find a song that they're talking about.
Again, - I am likely 95% on your same page as far as the Squeezebox is concerned. (In my opinion), my main rig is mostly for playing SACDs and CD level quality: it's a big step up from the bedroom & kitchen. So, - I have SQ expectations, and want a different experience from it, that the Squeezebox is just inadequate for. If the Sonore ends up being a significant step up from the Bryston or others, - in playing files from the NAS, - I'm going to go with it, regardless of whether or not it can play lo rez streaming from Pandora/Spotify/Soundcloud....

For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
