For Sale:
Squeezebox Touch---Channel Islands Audio DC power supply---SQB advanced controller

All units are in Excellent condition with no physical flaws. All operate perfectly. Can be purchased separately, but potential buyers who want the whole package will get priority. While the touch comes with a basic remote, The Controller has its own screen, navigation, headphone jack; like anyone can see the Touch screen from their listening chair, right? Everything has the latest firmware.

If purchased separately:

SqueezeBox Touch w/basic remote/walwart PS...$250
Channel Islands PS....$165 (This retails for $249)
Advanced Controller....$85

If you buy the whole enchilada: $450 shipped (that's $50 bones OFF!). CONUS only, sorry. Check or money order---no paypal.

Don't snooze, these go fast as they are disappearing and in high demand. If you're as anal as I am about equipment appearance, you'll appreciate the condition of my stuff. Nothing has been "modded" or otherwise putz'ed with. If you'd like me to throw a coax cable in the box, let me know. The Channel Islands non-switching power supply is a "must have" upgrade to the SQBox, and worth every penny, IMO. The SQBox touch plays flac, wav, and everything else under the sun and is 24/192 capable via coaxial cable. Don't let its modest appearance/price fool you, it sounds superb, especially with 24bit material.

    Trust me, you WANT the Duet controller. If you sit more than 5ft from your system, you won't be able to read the display. See "stock" photos above.

    OK, that was fast.

    The Channel Islands Audio DC power supply is still available, and a no-brainer upgrade for the Touch. $165 shipped.

    Will do Steveinaz, I am really tempted to try that power pack but its stretching my budget and I hope some one else snags it that has a squeezebox. I had a squeezebox way back but it fell off my rack and there was a big horrible gouge in the front touch screen and I just could not bare to look at it. My wife is going to love this and the remote with the headphone unit is totally her style.

    The Duet controller is really cool. Same display as the touch, way easier to see. Quick learning curve on using it, as its controls are pretty intuitive.

    Steve, why are you selling? I thought you were a squeezebox convert?
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    I knew you were going to say something like that. Seems to be what everyone is giving up their Squeezebox Touch for.

    My Bluray is about 6-7yrs old, so I figured make the transition now---and always wanted an Oppo anyway.

    Steve, I know you love that Benchmark but if you have the opportunity to try out an Oppo 105 instead of the 103 you should look at it, it's a seriously good DAC and preamp.

    Thanks for the reply. I have a Classic 3, but someone beat me to the PS. I forgot to check this thread last night.
