I am at 9 units. All without issue, running SqueezeCenter 7.2 on a Linux NAS. Even using the least efficient method of streaming FLAC, I believe the system has been tested to stream to at least 16 devices without any issues. Using MP3 it is probably even higher, the thing to remember is that there is a buffer and that it is not a constant full rate data stream. Is there a point when one will run out of bandwidth or have too many Slim Devices (basically the same thing)? There is, if I understand what is at issue. It is where the music is transcoded and what format it is in that will determine the network bandwidth used multiplied by the number of devices needing data determines overall network bandwidth needed. -- iPhone *iPhone* 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/mephone) Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: SB3, GFR-700HD, Thiel 2.3, Second Boom Home Office: SB3, NAD C370, two VSM-1 Home Gym: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, Thiel PowerPoint 1.2 Mobile: SB3, Audioengine A5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53394 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
