Probably @Paulwebster can advise further but I can confirm that the £3 usb sound card I posted a link to earlier will work with a Joggler flashed with the SqueezePlay OS without any modifications required. Also I can confirm a slightly higher priced generic USB sound card, a Behringer UCA202, a H

The benefit of the older Sqpos is that it has been around for a long time and used extensively enough for issues to have been resolved (at least to a high degree). The underlying hardware has it changed so it works like it always used to. If you want to use the Joggler as a more generic Unix box

Thanks Paul, I'll take a look. Are you all advising to use the older Squeezeplay OS? Using an older version of anything feels odd to me, but maybe that's my issue. If I go with SqueezeplayOS, which budget DAC's will 'just work'? ---

Thanks you two. I have tried the older SqueezePlay OS, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Whenever I've run it, it gives me the message that I can't connect because I'm running an old version of the server (which is not correct, I'm running 8.1.0). I haven't spent any time trying to get to th

I have found that the Ubuntu Joggler is not so friendly with USB dacs (very picky, infact) I did mention it on the Joggler forum but the problem has not been picked up (I believe Mr Webster also commented about the problem) If you need to use a Joggler with USB dac then I would say use SQPO. I

Hi all, Now that I've got a couple of Jogglers, it seems like a waste of power and lan cables to have them acting just as frontends for my SLIMP3 and SqueezeBox. So, I'm considering replacing the 'real' squeeze devices with the jogglers. However, the price of some of the USB DAC's that I see m
