Terratec's NOXON 2 radio / music server now does iPods

Joining the hordes of other fine music servers out there that have caved to the silent iPod demands, Terratec's latest has ponied up the ten-percent in order to boast about iPod compatibility. The NOXON 2 music streamer sports a stylish white, silver, and black motif, a top-mounted iPod dock, USB host port for connecting flash drives and external HDDs, optical audio output, headphone jack, streaming internet radio sans a PC, FM tuner, a wireless remote, built-in in Ethernet, and WiFi to boot. The device also supports OS X, Linux, and several flavors of Windows, 802.11b/g, 802.3(u), UPnP, WEP, WPA / WPA2, and a plethora of audio formats including MP3, M3U, PLS, OGG, AAC, WAV, and WMA. Notably, this unit actually packs its own 2.1 speaker system if you're on the go, which consists of a three-inch "subwoofer" and a pair of 1.5-inch tweeters, leaving us all to wonder where the integrated mids are. Still, such a convenient little streamer won't run you cheap, as Terratec apparently feels this thing is worth a whopping €349 ($473).

Don't bother with this - Terratec's support is less than useless. They sold a few of the original Noxon on the promise of updated firmware (stock only supported WEP, the promise was for WPA). If you bye this and you have any 'feature issues', say sayonara to your cash.

terratec's driver support has been spotty at best over the years - despite the fact that their aureon sound cards were one of the best envy24 based cards. still no vista drivers for those either, and i doubt we'll be seeing them anytime soon...

Euro prices are always inclusive of approx 20% VAT, in the US this will translate to a list price of $350.

Avoid anything Terrarec like the plague.

The product is good, but the support is hopeless. I have a Terratec Noxon Audio 1, and although it's still officially supported, the support is virtually non-existent. The Noxon 1 only supports WEP, which is woefully inadequete, and makes my network insecure, do Noxon care? of course not... A 4 month old product is obsolete in their eyes.
