Just factually incorrect? You're very welcome to your opinion of SC,
but what you said regarding it being the only possible option is just
flat out wrong.

i was talking about what slim does, and they choose to ONLY develop SC
and nothing else. thats the reality.
in any case, focusing on my perceived error on this point is a myopic

overboard, but why force it to be the only solution?

Some interesting points in the original few posts about lack of and/or
need for clear/simple documentation. As an engineer myself, I have to
admit that 'reading the manual' is tantamount to an admission of
defeat. But I think I'm the exception, not the rule... I had a nice
experience recently
I almost pulled the trigger today. But I think I rather wait till all
bugs are sorted out and proper installation guide is available. Heck, I
am not even sure if the sound quality is worth the set up hassle. Loving
my X5 in the mean time.

Who's forcing it to be the only solution? All the protocols are open,
you've got SC as a reference implementation, go ahead and make your
own. Saying that

Thank you for quoting me, but from what I've read, it would seem that
your Controller is defective. My Squeezebox never gave me shit. When I
encountered major problems, it was 99 times out of 100 the wireless
network's fault. And since I upgraded from ADSL to cable, all my
wireless problems

If it works intermittently there must be some kind of wireless problem.
No documentation could fix that.Wow, that's insightful, thanks.
You've assumed that the Receiver was connected wirelessly. No
documentation could fix that!

getting back to the op...
i think the conclusion of the review is pretty accurate. i still think
the SBC is simply amazing, b/c of how easy it is to work it. i can show
someone it, and they can use it, almost instantly... i just say click
this, click that, and they get it. thats great.

Much as I love my Duet, I have to agree with the review. Things have
mostly gone right for me so far, not that I can give much credit to the
extremely sketchy quick-start guide that came with the Duet. I'm a
semi-fiddly kind of guy, so I was able to get it up and running despite
the too-brief

I read the Duet manual and had seen some posts on the forum prior to
configuring my Duet and still had endless crap with it. In all
honesty, getting MiP integration working was easier and less esoteric,
even without documentation.
