Re: [slim] Sonicorbiter SE squeezebox replacement + Roon
Max2play is very close to a plug in and play solution as it gets. Put it on an sd card (this the most tech part ) then go to the 192.xxx.x.x UI and install what you want. You should give it a try...for me wifi was a pain so I stuck with wire.

Re: [slim] Sonicorbiter SE squeezebox replacement + Roon
But the Pi2 is too complicated to set up IMO, or at least for someone not that computer savy. Unless something has changed or unless there are some really good detailed instructions. My Pi2 is sitting in my closet unused. cliston's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11571 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104962 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Sonicorbiter SE squeezebox replacement + Roon
Once again the answer from me is the pi2 can do it so I'd expect this to be the case with this more powerful device...but as others have said if all you want is lms and a player then the pi with dac would be more cost effective. ..but this does seem to offer more than that. I do know that others also have KODI running on their pi2 as well so it really is horses for courses :-) Giza2020's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36318 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104962 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

This thing can then run plugins and the web-UI . Follow up Q . Is the typical transcoding apps supported if you use it as a server SoX faad and flac and lame ?

The original post stated that you could run LMS on it locally. Is that realistic or more like running LMS on a SB Touch (i.e. technically doable but with great restrictions).

Re: [slim] Sonicorbiter SE squeezebox replacement + Roon
No product is perfect . + good support for a lot of things and all this other protocols to , nice and a GUI to manage it all . - no analog out really ? Was the psu included or not ( for that price it should ) . Nice to have display and IR support . I would have preferred and slightly lower price for a digital endpoint , it's a tad expensive but actually not outrageously so ( I'm now comparing to so called high end streamers and servers ). Hopefully the extra $$$ is in the support for roon,dlna and the rest of the software . Not "audiophile markup" that consumer niche is not very price sensitive ,contrary they get suspicious if it's to cheap :) I paid similar for my Touch . So it's simply up to the each one what he/she thinks is acceptable price . In a world where there are not many prebuilt squeezeboxes anymore it is worth considering . So i bookmark this fo future consideration if I need a digital out only player again .

Hook it up to your stereo and run Plex or the Squeezebox > app. Not a lot different to running SB Player on an Amazon Fire TV which is also a compromise - it won't sync and may not be able to play above 24/48. The Chromecast is 24/96 but at present that looks as if it will only sync with another Chromecast. The Sonic Orbiter's real competitor is a Raspberry Pi with HAT DAC which in UK would cost around £65 in total on a self build basis. Yes the Pi's Ethernet & USB share the same BUS so if that bothers you then the Sonic Orbiter is an option.
