Just adding my 2 cents as another Duet user. To me the issue is the powering down just makes the device unusable in many instances, if you keep it cradled generally or use it constantly so it doesn't power down its great.
I use the Duet kind of like I would a Squeezebox touch, really I use it as a screen for the receiver near by receiver in my kitchen, and occasionally for a controller when it's helpful to see more screen real estate. For this its been great, and based on my limited usage its been great, and my girl friend really bought into the squeezebox system with the expanded ui. That said if it goes to sleep all bets are off. Half the time it can't connect and often it just needs to be rebooted. As it is sitting in the charger it drops in and out of the player list in Squeezecenter. Now before people accuse me of having some flakey network I have an Sb3 and Boom which are twice as far as the controller ever gets and they stay connected 24/7. The issue is the SqueezeOS stuff is still pretty primitive and flakey next to the SB2 approach which has been honed over a period of years. I hope it will mature, but time will tell. -- sander ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65198 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
