Re: SoundBridge M1000 vs Squeezebox 3

Perhaps someone can confirm the rumor that the M1001 with the coax digital connection in the back re-samples audio to 48. The original M1000 with coax digital on the side did not re-sample and supported 44.1.

Other than that difference, for me the advantage of the M1000 over the squeezebox is more flexiblity in terms of software. Your only option with SB is Slimserver which to some people is too limiting.

Recently, I have tried the Linksys Music Bridge. It appears to not re-sample (my DAC reports 44.1). It is cheaper than either the M1000 or SB, and can be used with ANY software seamlessly. The downsides I see so far include no display, and no support for ASIO. However, it does support kernal streaming.
