Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
To Slim Devices crew, Thanks for great products, I never post, too busy listening. I need a whole house solution, you're s close to nirvana. Can you give us an SB3 or receiver that has an IR emitter on itor just a separate wireless/IR module that we can plug in, set it on desk to blast IR commands? If so then can give us a Squeeze Controller Wireless driven IR control interface that's programmable (using Harmony software?) (Basically acts like a combination S.Controller/Harmony) Those IR emitters are really cheap;) With this setup, I could control anything from anywhere in the house via wireless G..eliminates need for IR/RF system, gets around having to add IR to the Squeeze Controller. Please please? (Yes, I'll pay extra) -- dmcdayton dmcdayton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
Hello I am new to the forums. I was ready to go purchase a Sonos system but I decided to wait until after CES to see if any new simular devicle would be announced there. I was pleased to see the Squeezebox Duet. One thing I would like to do is be able to play my music while my computer is off. I know that with the Sonos you can run it off an external networked drive or a NAS. I also know that with the Squuezebox Duet you can upload your music to a online music locker and keep your computer turned off. This music locker idea seems to me to be very time consuming since I have over 1600 CDs. and I was wondering if there is a was to play your itunes library off a NAS or external drive attached to my router? Any help would be appreaciated and I also like the pricing much better than the Sonos. Thanks to the Squeezebox development team. -- Bay City Bay City's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15076 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

IMHO you'll be happiest with the system if you always have the SqueezeCenter software running somewhere on your home network. It can run on certain NAS devices, but that may be slow. Another option is to dedicate a small server to running SqueezeCenter. My approach was to build my own NAS server with a low-power motherboard. -- dem Dave dem's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2504 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I am buying a new NAS (not sure which one). It appears that many NAS boxes come pre-installed with Slimserver/Squeezecenter.

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
I'll give my two cents on the Duet. :) We have a couple of old slimp3's. They worked well, but I wanted a more integrated whole-house solution. Something with a really nice remote, rather than having to have squeezeboxes in visible display everywhere. I was going to be going with a NuVo Grand Concerto system. I was a little displeased with the fact that it couldn't stream off my computer, and I couldn't do Internet radio -- and the fact that with our high ceilings and no crawlspace/basement, it was going to be a bear running the required cat5 through the walls vertically for the control panels. Now I'm really looking forward to the Duet. I'm going to get two Duets, and four additional receivers ultimately. In the "media room," I'm going to be putting all the receivers in a group, and run them to a multi-channel amp (a Channel Vision that has the really nice feature that its channels are turned on with independent auto-music sense on a channel-by-channel basis). Big advantages with this approach: (1) I just have to run speaker wire in the attic to the ceiling speakers -- not cat5 wire through the walls. (2) I get Internet radio. (3) Cheaper to boot, by a factor of about 1/2 -- and that's considering the lowest price I could find on the Nuvo stuff (on ebay), at 50 cents on the dollar. So to me, the Duet is really going to be a homerun, so long as the s/w works correctly, etc. I love the "one remote controls multiple receivers" strategy. This was an issue for our back porch, as with the Nuvo, I didn't want the control panel "exposed" outside, but didn't want it inside either for convenience. As soon as the Duets come out, I'll be getting one as my "test system," to make sure everything works the way I hope it to, and then will be springing for the additional units. My only big product wish now is for a squeezebox table radio, similar to what the Roku boys have. Would love to get one for my parents so that they can listen to Polish radio in their house . . . . -- miked miked's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4442 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Remember that SC7 isn't "released" yet - presumeably this will be linked to the release of the new hardware products in some way. Third parties that have to do integration or testing will always take a while to catch up - that's the price you pay for having someone else do that work for you.

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
Took me two days to get caught up with this thread! Respectfully; lot's of you guys are audiofile nerds, which is great/fine. Let me tell you, the Duet, out of the box, is a great thing for the rest of mankind. I've been struggling with a Cd30 WIFI system for the last couple of years. When if works, it's fine, but still you have no Wifi remote and my amp that powers all these indoor and outdoor speakers is on the first story. We basically live on and listen to most of the music on the second story. The new controller will enable us to access and control the music for the first time. We can't wait. With the Cd30, I had their software running continously on the downstairs computer with about 50GB's of music on it. The Crown amp runnig the whole house stereo/speakers is controlled by an X10 electrical switch with remote from anywhere around the house. Whenever you want to listen to music, you just turn of the amp via X10 remote (which are cheap) Sound quality if just fine for this system as I'm not trying for anything but background music as we go about our day or for parties. Thanks for all the great posts, I learned tons and will buy the Duet as soon as it's avaialbe.

The new Squeezebox should support podcasts and playlists through the standard SqueezeCenter (the server bit) functionality. Playcounts etc can be updated in iTunes using plugins like TrackStat or iTunesUpdate. Essentially you should be able to do what ever you can do on the Squeezebox "classic" as the boxes are essentially quite dumb and just get told what to do by the server. pnielsen;261273 Wrote: > > I'm s happy that they made this item available!

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
I've tried to go through the 49+ pages of this forum and just want to make sure I've got this right. I have 3 slimp3s hardwired (built into the walls actually) of a house connected into the multiroom audio system. The controlling PC sits in a cupboard in the garage, also hardwired into the LAN. I like have the screen visible - use them for weather,time,alarm,train scheds, news ... the whole shebang. It works just like I like it Except for those times when I want to peruse the music, albums covers etc to play music. I have toyed with the idea of the Nokia800 but it seems that the new controller may be the better (faster though less expandable) way to go. Is this correct? To get it to work with my system pf slimp3, is all I have to do is: 1) buy the controller 2) put a wifi access point into the house LAN 3) upgrade slimserver 6.5.x to slimserver 7.x Also - does one controller work all 3 slimp3 separately - is there like on the server a pull down list of which slimp3 I want to direct the commands to? thanks -- bouton bouton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=539 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
Bouton, As long as SC7 is OK for slimp3s then you are right, all you'll need is a wireless signal and the Controller enables you to select which player to control. I think you'll really impressed by the remote. It is very responsive, totally unlike using the web interface via any other hand held. Your whole-house set up is exactly what it is made for (assuming Slimp3s work the same as SB2/3/Receivers/Transporters). The way the Receiver/Controller has been priced and the improvements in SC7 (esp synchronisation) alone makes it obvious that Logitech are looking very firmly at whole-house zoned (and synched) audio.

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
Duet - looks like a nice alternative to the SB3 though I'll not be rushing out to get one if it offers no audio quality improvement (not that my SB3 with external DAC is bad in any way). It was irritating though to find that the Duet needs a 9v supply unlike the 5v of the SB3. What would I do with my current investment in a linear, regulated model ? I'm no electrical engineer but do get more and more hacked off with needing dozens of wall warts etc where every product seems to have a slightly different need (they come with different power ratings, physical configurations, plug diameters etc). Would it not be possible to standardise supplies around 2 or three alternatives (eg 5v, 12v, 18v) so at least there's the possibility of using existing gear ? Could the duet have been made to work with 5V (esp if the receiver circuitry is much the same) Ah well . . . . -- liffy99 liffy99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7832 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
IRBlaster is such a natural accessory that, if anything, I'd hope to see it become part of the stock package. Making it not even an option seems like a bad call, especially on a unit that can be hidden away with all its cabling. I just received mine this past Monday, took all of ten minutes to install and set up the plugin, and now I can't believe I've been SB'ing without it all these years. It goes really well (using an SB2) with the new SB Controller too -- no more trips to the entertainment center to get things started, change what's playing, or power everything down. Just completely convenient music. While enabling the SBC's IR to control receivers would be nifty, it'd still feel like an awkward step backwards (a wifi controller that still requires line-of-sight to turn things on and off?) to me. -- bobv bobv's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2452 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'm one of the people Logitech wanted to entice with the Duet -- a wholly new user. I have a QNAP TS-209 nas that I've been cramming with FLACs of my cds and got hooked on streaming (mp3 only) to my stereo via PS3. 1. I did not see a clear answer other than the discussion of the DAC chip to this question: Can the SBR play 24 bit, 96khz or 24bit, 88.2khz? I believe SB3 only does 24 bit 48khz. I love the Tallis Scholars and their newer albums are available in 48/88.2/96. Even if I can't hear the difference, might as well pay the extra $4 for the best. 2. Where's the best place to look for discussion of a good (but < $1k) speaker/amp or powered speaker set up for a smallish bedroom with no size or Wife Acceptance Factor constraints? I saw 2 intriguing options in this thread, but not quite what I wanted. 3. Nerdy question. Can you program the squeeze center so that music can be set up according to a calendar?

I don't pretend to know (or care, much) about how it's "positioned" but I do know that I (and the previous poster) have an application for a faceless box with an IR blaster. The application should be fairly obvious, and indeed the OP spelled it out. "Order the SB3" isn't the ideal answergiven that I (and others, blah blah) don't need a display on the unit.

Drill a hole and stick one into it and things are good to go :) Seriously, I doubt that most of people even knows what the IR blaster is. Probably quite a few would miss the ability to use the headphones. However, this unit is half the price of the SB3, and some things have had to be deleted. Headphone jack means also headphone amp circuitry, additional power supply for it, obviously more room ... I guess, Logitech planners had to draw a line somewhere, and this was the most optimal solution in their minds. Likely because the controller will eventually get sound. BTW, out of topic, but these days there's a lot of unsettled dust around Apple's decision to charge for the software update to their iPod touch. So, some people have had a device for 6 weeks only, and they already have to pay for email and mapping software, which, as they feel, should have been there to begin with, and new users are getting for free.

My experience has shown that the headphone jack on the SB3 is pretty poor. I just have a modest set of Sony headphones and was very underwhelmed by the sound quality and noise level. So I moved to a portable headphone amp connected to the analog outs of the SB3. The sound quality through this is awesome. My point is that though there is a headphone jack on the SB3, it isn't exactly a good one and probably not up to the task for a lot of people.

I seem to recall you saying a while ago that the SB3s could use a high voltage rail from the display, but the display-less receiver couldn't do that.

Unrelated - receiver is internally regulated. 9V was selected mainly because it's widely available, but the system would run (unsupported by us) on lower voltages. 6.8 is probably close to the minimum. -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
Speaking from the Logitech regional office in Mountain View, California, I can tell you that the hardware is being manufactured in China right now, but there are some slow downs there due to snow that the region rarely sees. (A couple of our guys nearly got stuck at the factory last week!) We're also putting the finishing touches on the software (See our open bugs here: http://tinyurl.com/36bvr5 ). So, it's a race between the weather in China and the software being ready for released to the world. It won't be perfect when it ships in a few weeks, but we'll be continuing to work on the software for subsequent releases in the following weeks and months.

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
I've participated in another beta test situation, many years ago, and it was quite different and secretive. I find the Slim openness quite refreshing. For Betas that don't require special hardware, basically anyone can participate. If you don't have the skills, you probably shouldn't, but no one stops you from contributing, to the level that you are able. Personally, I find this a good thing. I'm not doing a whole lot of participating at the moment, because of family illness and change-of-work pressure, and yet there's no one hounding me and saying I'm not living up to my responsibilities as a beta tester. -- Michaelwagner Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
I've done testing for a number of companies and there is certainly a range of attitudes in regard to the level of secrecy etc. To me it seems that the more innovative and interesting the product, the more open the dev & test process. From my experience on the open side you have companies like Serato, JetBrains and Ableton, and on the less open side you have MS, Rio (RIP), and Sony.

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
The other key difference in approach (IMHO) is the committment to cycle of continuous improvment in both release and beta software. This may be what Robin was referring to above about the open source approach? Can't think of too many other companies that do nightly releases of their software...although I also think that has quite a bit to do with the skill and enthusiasm of this community. From a business perspective, with all highly skilled resource available for free, SD would be crazy not to take advantage of that.
