I'm not talking about continuous stuttering - only when a player is added. Sonos and other products don't do this. problem is maintaining sync over wifi not drop outs - think some of this is related to the way libspotify which Triode uses buffers the data, but regardless, it renders wifi sync'd players unreliable. When things are in sync they occasional drift and then come back together - there is no direct control over the oscillator on the rpi so there will always be some drift. the drift isn't normally noticable as corrections are made between tracks. regardless of the underlying issues, the current squeezebox architecture in the form of the RPI with i2S DAC has too many quirks for widespread use when multi zone audio, WAF and access to a range of streaming services is a requirement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ashleyw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58923 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103926 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
