I'm extremely happy with my Sqeezebox Boom paired with a ReadyNas NV. The boom has great sound quality, and has a soothing familiar VFD display. and the alarm interface is intuitive yet versatile. The whole product feels solid, and has the small touches that show the product team understood their market and fought to make the best product they could. The top is ruberized, with magnetized divot for the remote. When turned off, the power button is illuminated, when you turn it on, all the buttons illuminate. When its off and you press the snooze button, the display flashes when the next alarm is set to go off, or says no alarm if there isn't one. The VFD automatically dims with the ambient light, which is a great feature for something designed to go on a bedside table.

In short, it's my second favorite mp3 playing appliance. I've got a squeezebox duet that I never use, but the Boom gets used most nights and every weekday morning.
