You can download a beta version of Radiator 3.01b1-p1 which includes 6.5. Go to the Infrant forum, look under Ready NAS Beta Releases and you can get the update. I have been running it for a couple of weeks and it is both stable and works. Obviously if you want to use the Web interface you will

You have more than enough signal with the SB3 at full volume. Check to see that SlimServer - Player Settings - Audio - Preamp Volume Control is at 0 (i.e. no attenuation). Otherwise, check your preamp and amp. Sounds like either the preamp isn't putting out enough signal or the amp cuts off

I want to thank everyone for the feedback. I think that the problem is that the specific feed I am listening to (an internet radio station) is not providing sufficient volume, so I have to have the Squeezebox at 100% volume to prevent the amp from shutting off. I did turn off the auto-off

Bottom line: sounds like this amp isn't going to work very well for you when doing quiet listening. No preamp or any other solution that might come before the amp in the signal chain is going to fix this problem. The problem is that you want to listen to audio at a level that falls below the

I like your posts, generally, so please don't take this personally. Here's the thing: Being an audiophile does not mean that one has to belong to the overly credulous and seriously over-spending crowd. Being an audiophile does not automatically mean that you judge a product by its price tag.
