The editors didn't like
The remote has a relatively short battery life and must be charged every few days with moderate use
The remote may not instantly respond when first utilized
As it needs to reestablish a wifi connection
As a member of the Squeezebox family
The Duet is still subject to the same software quirks that affect all computerdependent music servers.
Expensive
Total reliance on WiFi makes for a bumpy experience
Incompatible with some (most?) 802.11n routers
Complex setup and overall operation make it for experienced users only.
Somewhat steep learning curve
Wont play DRMwrapped files
Overly sensitive scroll wheel
Remote has long lag time and occasionally freezes up with some functions.
Not firewall friendly
Using multiple receivers can bog down network
Inadequate documentation and no on-device help
Remote’s scrollwheel advances too slowly for large music libraries. Some interface aspects feel clunky. Can’t connect to multiple Macs or Ethernet hard drives.
Its very expensive compared with most streaming players
Potentially difficult setup
No DRM support
Outdated support documents
Crippled MySqueezebox.com remote control
Remote buttons not backlit
Can be slow connecting to large libraries via WiFi
Our 10
000tune trove sometimes made the Duet controller sing solo. No DRM support
Works only with non-DRM files
Controller not terribly responsive
Scrolling through menus is slow
Music-service authorization requires a computer
Minor improvements could make the already good interface even better
Scroll wheel isnt quite as responsive as the iPods
No compatibility with DRM music files such as those purchased from iTunes or Zune online stores
