Anyone have/ used a Turtle Beach AudioTron Digital Music Player?

kcoc321

One of these Turtle Beach AudioTron Digital Music Player came up on CL for a good price.
I know these are older, but I like they are full width. I saw one on eBay that even had a AES output.
It does have Toslink and a nice LED display.

Any thoughts?

I know it is not a Sqeezebox or Sonus, but it might get me by until I can afford one of those....

Thanks

Read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AudioTron before you purchase it, they where orphaned in 2007.

This device does what My Onkyo receiver has built into it it. vTuner, Spotify, Last FM, Pandora, etc. and for access to my PC's music and video files DLNA. But you are limited to one service; http://www.listenlive.nl/

thanks for the input. I did not realize the Onkyo receivers now stream digital music files from personal computers or NAS devices too.

Not just Onkyo,so does Denon, Yamaha, Pioneer, Marantz, I really like vTuner that Onkyo has, vTuner is what powers most of the internet radios on the market. vTuner presently has 19824 Stations Available from all over the world, and it is free. With a DLNA client such as Mezzmo you have total access to the media files on your PC. In addition to vTuner I have Pandora, Rhapsody, SirusXM internet radio, Last,FM Internet Radio, Slacker Personal Radio, Mediafly, Spotify, and AUPEO! Persona radio, I can also directly enter the URL's of streaming radio station in both vTuner,and The Favorite section. The Onkyo is missing two things Apple Air Play, and iHeart radio. Nobody else has iHeart radio either, but most of the other brands do have Apple Airplay. You can dock a iPod, iPhone directly into all of them.

vTuner has streaming specialty stations, Beatles 24/7, Pat Matheny 24/7, hundreds of classical, rock, jazz, country, Celtic, OTR etc etc,etc.
