Hi, first post and not very computer knowledgeable. Currently I have Dell Desktop PC and an EeePC at home. The Dell Desktop PC is hooked up to the web via a cable modem which in turn feeds a Cisco wireless router model WRT310N. I use iTunes and currently I am streaming my music to the EeePC via the wireless router using iTunes Home Sharing feature.
BTW, the Dell Desktop PC has a Chaintech AV710 sound card which I use to send files digitally using an optical cable to feed a Monarchy NM24 DAC which in turn feeds other headphone amps. As you can see when I work on the PC (3-4 hours weeknights and 8-10 hours on the weekends) I listen to my music via headphones. BTW I also sometimes use a Red Wine Audio Isabellina HPA which I connect via USB to feed either the internal headphone amp in the Isabellina HPA or a Red Wine Audio Signature 30.2 which amps an AKG K1000 ear-speaker. So although late in the game I have a chance to buy an used Squeezebox Classic for a good price and would like to hook it up to my system. I would like your opinion on the two following options. BTW, if you have an alternative or third option I would appreciate you sharing it. 1. I could hook up the SB Classic to one of the Ethernet ports on the Cisco wireless router and connect it to my Dell Desktop PC. This would allow me to listen to the many radio stations which I have read are available via the SB Classic. For my remote EeePC I can then continue using the wireless router to stream the music. However this does not solve the problem w/ my headphone nightstand rig, for which I could either get a 2nd SB Classic to receive the music and then either feed the music to the amp via the RCA outs or send the digital files to a second DAC by the headphone stand rig. OR 2. I could place the SB Classic on the headphone nightstand rig and then stream music wireless's back to the Dell Desktop PC. The files would then be sent via the optical cable to the Monarchy NM24 DAC as I currently do w/ the iTunes files. So, would the 2nd option work? I am pretty sure the 1st option would work but I would need two SB Classics and thus more money. Thanks for your patience. -- mrarroyo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrarroyo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76423 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
