Advantages: Expandable two room digital audio system

Disadvantages: The devices format compatibility is poor

Philips’ WACS700/05 music system is truly multi-room hi-fi for the wireless generation. It consists of a base station with a CD player and 40GB hard drive built in, plus a satellite unit, which receives and plays back music streamed wirelessly from the base station via built-in 802.11g adapters in each unit.
Spec: Network audio player + station, Stereo, MP3, PCM, WMA, Remote control (Infrared), Network audio player - MP3, PCM, WMA

Good: 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 includes a CD player/ripper, a 40GB internal hard drive, and a two-way remote with an LCD. Flexible playback options allow for the same music in multiple rooms, multiple different streams, and a "follow" function from room to room.

Bad: 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 compared to similarly priced music servers.

Bottomline: 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

Summary: A little expensive with alot of shortfalls
