Sooloos - the ultimate music server?

[Marco]

Guys,

I'm interested in opinions on this product:

http://www.sooloos.com/www/the-system.html

I will be in the market for a high-end music server at some point soon and this seems to me to be an ideal solution as it offers user-friendliness (very important to me as I'm not au fait with or interested in the jargon/techy side of things) and apparently also top-notch sound quality.

I've got no idea how much it costs (but have made enquiries) or whether there are any UK dealers but it seems very intriguing!

Your thoughts would be much appreciated

That's a bit about that (and others) in Alan Sircom's column in issue 58 of HiFi+, sounds impressive, no mention of price though.

That's where I read about it, Mike

I like the look of it because it ticks all the right boxes for me - superb sound quality (apparently) and 'idiot-proof' use of the technology, as everything is at your fingertips.

I just need to get some more info on it.

Yeah, the 'article' is a bit brief, doesn't even mention if there are plans to import it.

Looks cool though.

I've requested some information through the website, including pricing, so all will be revealed.

If it's good, though, I don't mind importing one from the States. I did it with the KAB 1210, so why not a music server!

I'm gonna take a guess---- £2K

And it will be out of date within a year!

$12,000 EEEK.

I pretty much decided that if nothing better comes on the market in the meantime, then this is what I'd be looking at buying when the time comes

Try having a quick squint at this.........download issue 11 for a 9 page review (plus admittedly a large amount of advertising & photos).

Marco, that system is expensive and I doubt it will offer better quality than a Sonos system.

I had a Sonos on loan for a HFW review and I was sad to see it go. IMHO it's still the best PC based 'integrated' system available and would be at the top of my shopping list.
