ROKU Soundbridge M1000Thought I'd post this review I've done for the website here....GREAT bit of kit!!
Firstly, these are ROKU players which Pinnacle have been granted licence to distribute in europe, hence the Pinnacle/ ROKU branding.
I have been using the Roku M1000 with the following for the past week
LINN LK1 PreAmp
LINN LK100 Power Amp
LINN Mimik CD
LINN Kan Mk 1 Speakers
LINN K20 Speaker Cable
This is my main HiFi and is set up downstairs with my PC upstairs.
Being a HiFi Nut I was very sceptical about the performance and sound quality of these types of devices but still took the plunge.
I have to say that the performance of this little device is astounding!
5 minutes to set up to my wireless router via Windows Media Connect.
5 Minutes to navigate the initial set up menu, Organise tracks, screen brightness, Font & Text size etc.
The sound quality is great but this clearly depends on the speakers and Hi-Fi kit its being connected to. It was a little behind my LINN Mimik CD deck with regard to separation but that's a £1K CD deck and this is a sub £160 Soundbridge so with that in mind, performance is fantastic at this price point.
+ VERY strong signal.
+ No Signal Droputs.
+ VERY fast at detecting tracks.
+ EXCELLENT display & Menu System.
+ Excellent, Intuitive, Stylish Remote.
+ Great Internet Radio - (PC doesn't need to be on for this to work)
Anyone pairing this up with a half decent HiFi will be over the moon with it. It also worked great in my kitchen over the weekend with some small powered PC speakers.
Does EXACTLY what it says on the tin!
In short.... Awesome.
