I've been away from Head-Fi for quite some time and came back before buying a new Bithead for a buddy of mine (I've had one for years and been quite happy with it). I thought I'd see what people had to say about the current rev and see if there was any Head-Fi discount floating around . Of...

I think it has a better DAC and looks better; but, I think I would have been happy with a 2. I like it because it streams FLAC. I've been trying it out in software and (except for an underpowered server) it is running really well.

OK -- I'm an idiot. I just realized I replied to a post from a year ago . . . sorry about that. So, does anyone know what the current quantity discount is on the Squeezebox 3?

I'm just about to buy two of these (one for a buddy and me). Right now they have a $100 if you buy 2. That is better than the discount they are offering in larger quantities.

Re-ripping is a total pain, I agree. That is why I went with FLAC so I can just convert the music to whatever format I want in the future without having to re-rip.
