| The Bottom Line | The Olive N°3 is an impressive digital audio server with a host of high-end features--built-in wireless networking; an internal 160GB hard drive; and the ability to play, rip, and record CDs--that discriminating listeners will appreciate. | The Escient FireBall E2 offers sophisticated home-integration capabilities for your digital audio--but its assortment of high-end features come with a price tag to match. | With its excellent iPod-like remote, the Logitech Squeezebox Duet is an ideal way to stream the full range of digital music--including files on your computer's hard drive, premium subscription music services, and free Internet radio--to your living room stereo system. | The Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K delivers an excellent feature set and outstanding sound quality for its price, making it our top midrange AV receiver pick so far. | |
