  • Easy process involved in CD-ripping; solid build
  • Retro 80s design; lethargic CD-ripping; sound quality could be better
  • Audiophiles will want to look elsewhere, but beginners in the world of music streaming should find enough here to keep them entertained. Despite a few technical annoyances, the WACS700 streams music successfully and is more affordable than the obvious...

  • The Philips Streamium WACS700/37 is an expandable two-room wireless digital audio system that is compatible with--but doesnt require--a PC or a Wi-Fi network. The server and client units have integrated speakers and an AM/FM tuner, and the main unit i...
  • The devices format compatibility is poor--it doesnt play DRM-protected audio files, it cant stream Internet radio or Rhapsody, and it cant broadcast music from CDs. The PC connectivity is clunky, CD ripping is slow, and the 40GB hard disk is small ...
  • The stylish Philips Streamium WACS700/37 can stream digital music throughout your home without a PC, but considering its high price, its hard to overlook some basic feature and performance shortfalls.

  • Stylish design, Choice of audio from each station, Easy to rip CDs
  • Difficult to configure into an existing wireless setup, Low quality display screens, Poorly laid out remote
  • The WACS700 is an easy to set up wireless music serving system, but its not without its quirks. If youre more of a Hi-Fi person than a PC person its definitely worth contemplating, but those with more PC networking nouce could replicate the WAC700...

  • Abstract:  Philips dispose à son catalogue de la WACS 7000, une chaîne hi-fi un peu particulière. Sa référence complète, Wireless Streamium Audio Center et Satellite, nous le laisse dailleurs entendre. Il sagit là en fait dun système audio décomposé en une uni...
