If Streamium were an element
It would be heavier than heavy metal and lighter than air guitar
With the lustre of a freshly minted gold record. The NP2900 has a meaty 30W of amplification and uses smart digital processing to turn plain old MP3 (or WMA

When you’ve got a terabyte drive groaning at the seams with music

Interface can become sluggish with large music libraries
The NP2900 is a nice looking and very fine sounding box of tricks. Although a little less robust in use and not as feature rich as Logitechs Squeezebox Boom, it produces a marginally better sound and comes with a far superior screen and remote contro...

Excellent sound quality for its size; unique color screen that displays album art; full Rhapsody integration; provides access to thousands of Internet radio stations; stylish exterior design; easy setup to stream music from connected PCs.
Interface can get sluggish with large music libraries; slight delay between tracks; no support for Pandora, Last.fm, or Slacker; included remote occasionally confusing.
The Philips NP2900 is a great-sounding Wi-Fi radio with a unique color display, but it doesnt offer enough features to justify its price premium over competitors.

Plus : Une excellente webradio alliée à un bon récepteur audio UPnP. Un objet aussi performant que joli à regarder.
Abstract: Der NP2900 Stremium macht einfach Spaß: Von der Einrichtung über die intuitive Navigation bis hin zu dem für ein Gerät dieser Größe ausgezeichneten Klang.
