Thanks for the warning...I had assumed it wouldn't work with a squeezebox. If I recall correctly, the current drawn by a SB is about the same regardless of state which makes sense considering that on/off is not meaningful to the SB in a hardware sense. I have a few other things for which I'd find it useful. An amp seems like a lot to me, though... -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29012 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
