I really liked the idea of the small receiver and hand held controller when I bought the Duet way back. I still like and use controllers, despite having phone apps, material skin, etc. I like the cradled "now playing" screen and grab it to, say choose something else, raise volume, etc. Don't forget any player can take the place of your receiver and still be controlled by the controller. You might want to think of a small picore player with a digi or analog hat as a replacement some day A couple things I thought about: 1) When my receivers had wifi strength issues there would be allot of "rebuffering". The player could have been playing for days, hours, then I'd be listening to a low bit rate radio station and rebuffering would start. I would switch stations, and even switch to my library (to see if it might be caused by my isp), and it just continued, or, sometimes it just locked up. I usually had to reset the receiver and controller to receiver, then it would be fine. 2) There is a good thread on the duet here: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?112215-Duet-set-up The Duet is unique in that both the controller and the receiver communicate with LMS. During setup, the controller communicated directly to the receiver. I had always wondered if the problems are due to the receiver hardware itself, or, is the controller somehow involved. I don't think the controller plays a part though, because wired my receivers play fine.
