Squeezebox Boom or Pure Sensia

markdibley · 24-10-2009, 4:13 PM

Hi

I have put in an order for a Squeezebox Boom, but I am considering switching to a Pure Sensia. I am curious to know which people think might be better, particularly in regards to streaming from a ReadyNAS Duo, the radio stations available and use as an alarm clock.

£200/£250 maybe quite a lot for a clock radio - but I've been saving up for several years.

BTW - I do believe I would make use of the apps, but they are not a necessity.

(I did also post in the DAB/FM radio forum - apologies)

The Boom will play your music files as well as internet radio, which you might want to do in future even if not right now.

If you are looking for a bedroom alarm, have you considered the Squeezebox Radio?

Logitech Squeezebox Radio: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

It is smaller than the Boom and has a mono speaker, but sounds excellent as a bedside (or kitchen) radio/alarm. Like the Boom, it will also play your music files (except DRM-protected ones) via Squeezebox Server. Or you can connect an iPod to it...
