Re: [slim] SB3 vs. Duet
DavidPHumes;531290 Wrote: I'm a college student right now and work at Best Buy. I get an excellent accommodation through Logitech as a Best Buy employee and the price of a Duet and SB3 (off of, say, eBay) is about equal. After browsing the forums for the last couple days, I've noticed most people have the SB3 despite the fact it is significantly older. Is there a good reason for this? I'm not really worried about the DAC as my preamp has a very good built in DAC that I will be using anyway. I sit about 10 feet from my stereo so I really don't need to have a screen on the remote, but it would be cool I'll admit. I also don't really have any need right now for Internet music streaming, so I don't mind if that functionality it not present. What is the communities general opinion on this? Or, should I wait for the Touch (ha)? If you're going to use an external DAC then it probably doesn't matter which one you go with. The only other differences would be the display on the SB3, and also you can control other devices with an SB3 using an IR Blaster. Both have identical functionality as far as Internet streaming goes, as that's actually handled by the server software. -- pfink pfink's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76952 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Rebuffering solved !!! Netgear XE102
marklings;378981 Wrote: Using an over the electrical wire adapter, Netgear XE102, to reach a remote room. This was not plugged directly into the wall socket, but into a multiple outlet going into the wall Very severe rebuffering Plugging the Netgear directly into the wall solved the problem Probably the instability of the outlet caused electrical surges that in turn caused some frames to be lost. I should add that a proper protocol error management should avoid this. Apparently whenever a single frame was lost the whole rebuffering thing started Anyhow, it is now fixed and hopefully will help someone else I've been using Linksys Powerline AV adapters on three of my Squeezeboxes (because of wi-fi deadspots in the house) and they've been working great. Linksys states specifically in the manual to plug them directly into a wall outlet and not into a power strip or surge protector. -- pfink pfink's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57654 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB3 Antenna???
androidtopp;357631 Wrote: I have heard a lot of people get VERY slow throughput on these, depending on the quality of your house wiring, and how clean your power is. Could all be bunk, but I've seen few people be satisfied. I considered this option, but it was more expensive than what ended up working for me, and all those low throughput comments planted the seed of doubt in my mind. If it works, it's a great option though - since it has the power (see what I did there) to extend your network everywhere. Using the Squeezecenter Server Network Health test I get a solid 100% @2500kbps on the SB3s that are attached to the Powerline AV adapters. At 3000kbps it drops off to 95%. This is identical to what I get when I test my hardwired SB3. In any case the throughput has been good enough to stream FLACs to multiple SB3s throughout the house without any drop-outs, which wasn't the case with wi-fi. I don't have any info on the single-phase vs multi-phase home wiring issue. FWIW I'm located in the northeast US and live in a 15 year old house.

Re: [slim] SB3 Antenna???
cdnpaul;356848 Wrote: I just recently switched from DSL to cable and the Apple Extreme router is now farther away. My Transporter is great (it works great regardless of where the router is in the house) but the two SB3's always seem to struggle with picking up a strong enough signal. Are there any simple solutions to increase the range of the SB3's? I have a Squeezebox in a bedroom which is in the opposite corner of the house and one floor up from the wireless router and its wi-fi reception was always spotty. I tried a high-gain antenna on the router: no improvement. I added another wireless access point in the second floor office, which is one room away: no improvement. I finally bought a couple of these things: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-PLK200-Powerline-Ethernet-Adapter/dp/B000LJ5B8Q/ You plug one in near the router and then run a CAT 5 cable from it to the router, then plug the other one in near the Squeezebox and run another CAT 5 cable from it to the Squeezebox (you configure the SqueezeBox same way you would if it was hardwired.) The Powerline adapters communicate with each other though the house's electrical wiring and bridge the traffic to your router. Works great. I ended up buying a third one to use with the Squeezebox in the basement. -- pfink pfink's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54672 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
