That's fair. I tried to be gentle in my criticism. I just greatly prefer everything else. Receivers on wifi drove me nuts, but the one I am using wired is fine. Like I said, I really like the controllers, but have a couple dim ones, and one of them has the sticky nav wheel. One thing that Paul (OP) might consider is a Radio. They are abundant on ebay (here in the US) and cheap (~$50USD). You can wire the headphone out to RCA inputs. While I would not do it for an expensive/critical listening system, I did it for a friend with a modest system and it doesn't sound to bad. Ergo wise it's like a touch with a smaller screen and physical controls (knobs and buttons). Then when you find your touch or pi, it's a great second player, especially with a battery adding portability. Also, the radio can be used as a controller - that is, get just a receiver, or one of Philippe's squeezeamps, and you have a pseudo-duet. The radio can just be set to control the receiver/s-amp.
