For me, now that I can make a pretty decent headless player with a Raspberry Pi, I2S DAC and a pretty case - all for less than £100 ($150) - I don't think I would ever spend more money than that on a streamer again. If I were really into hi-fi and wanted the best possible sound I might spend the money on an external DAC which is where the real audible differences are made, rather than the streamer which simply decodes network 1s and 0s and turns them into a form that a DAC can decode. The real magic with the Squeezebox system lies in LMS, and the many willing volunteers here that keep it running. Those of us addicted to BBC radio are eternally indebted to the likes of BPA, Triode, Expectingtofly, Bonze and others without whom we would be resorting to bluetoothing from our iPhones to some crappy little speaker like some of my trendy friends in the "meeja" (gruesome thought :( ) Matt http://www.last.fm/user/MJL-UK SQUEEZEBOXES:[/B] TWO SB DUETS (LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN) AND A *'PICOREPLAYER' (HTTPS://SITES.GOOGLE.COM/SITE/PICOREPLAYER/HOME) [b]Server:* Raspberry PI with Squeezeplug & LMS 7.8.
