    Squeezebox Duet

    We aim to offer the very best products and upgrades.

    The upgrade reigns in the overly aggressive treble and upper mid band peaks + adding extra weight to the bass and a superb foot tapping flow to the music. The Squeezebox Duet becomes a truly great digital media server.

    Customer comments:-

     

    "Got the modded squeezebox back and it sounds far better straight out of the box.  More solidity in the soundstage, less harsh and grainy on high treble, more natural on vocals.  Bass is fuller and the timing and musicality have been improved significantly. Instrument placement is better, as is their tone. I can now listen to tracks which haven't been recorded that well (192kbps/Nirvana) without wanting to switch them off. All round an excellent upgrade and far more noticeable than a recent upgrade to just power supply alone."

    I'll be looking to send my DAC to you soon.

    Thanks

    Hi Brent,

    I meant to write and thank you earlier, but I have been busy listening to music J  

    The improvement after you upgraded my SqueezeBox is not subtle, it still surprises me and leaves me smiling. The harsh high trebles are now smoother, as you explained. This I expected. What I did not expect was that this would also result in mid and base now flowing freer. The whole range seems to be more relaxed, less strained and with a nicer detail across the board. I now understand the strengths of my DAC better, and the SB now has replaced my CDP completely. 

    So again, thanks for a great job! 

    Mats
